happy new year to you's
may it be filled with good health, happiness and prosperity!

I just wanted to say that i have not deserted you's, i spend majority of my time on the NA side of MIP. I do however, come here often to read your posts. Nice to see lots of new faces :)

I recently celebrated my 1st birthday and today am working on day 379.

Have been going through some things lately...i say going "through" cause thats exactly what it is.. wow i have grown... some of these dilemmas once upon a time would have had me promptly sitting on a bar stool... today though there is nothing and no one that is worth taking that first drink over...thank God.

i believe sugar was my first drug.. next to alcohol. Emotional relapse comes first...If i am behaviorally relapsing...then sugar is where i am at... i do not want to pick up a drink or a drug.

i had a one year cake once before..i relapsed after 14 months of sitting on the fence.. today i am determined to stay in recovery, i can't do this alone, i need you.

i am currently on step 3 soon to start my step 4. I have no fear only anticipation of getting better and on with the program and my life. One day at a time.

i love you and thanks for being here.

yours in recovery,
Wendy

congrats on 1 year. I've visited the NA site but haven't signed up yet. I went to NA meetings, along with AA for the first 3 years to drive home the message, to myself, that I am an alcoholic and a drug addict. And I still introduce myself that way at meetings. It's strange that I haven't given drinking a second thought since I finished my 4th and 5th steps at 6 months, but I get bent out of shape when I smell MJ burning. My stupid addict that lives on inside me always says "a couple tokes couldn't hurt after all this time...". I've got several white chips in my coin collection from just that sort of thing. Git-R-Dun on that 4th and 5th!

Congrats on your one year, and working the steps truely can set you free from your addictions. I know as I did them I found out why I was drinking. It all came down to fear for me, and now that I have an idea of what the problem is I can begin to work on that.
