Hi debbie. Welcome to MIP.


 


I guess it would depend on whay type of 'rut inside myself'.......Maybe I would need more meetings, maybe different meetings.......is it time to move on to another step.....should I be more service oriented......do I just need a new hobbie! 


Please keep coming back.


Love and hugs

Morning...


Stuck hu...


Different kinds of "Stuck"


Something that I havent dealt with re Yesterdays...or Acceptance..and cant move on?


Fear of the unknown holding one back?


Fourth and Fifth Step?


Being beat up emotionally, and needing a boost?


Sitting on sandy beach waiting for things to happen on their own, and getting sand...up butt?


Just a few things that come to mind....


Needing a second coffee and a nicotine fix...only one brain cell, awake..:)

Hi Debbi,

Welcome to MIP. It's a great place to be and it adds so much to my sobriety.

I don't know what sort of 'rut' you are in right now, but when that happens to me I always have more contact with my sponsor and other AA members and up my meetings. I re-visit steps that I think might help me, too.

Or, one thing that really helps me, is to go out for a nice long walk. I find that it helps to be out of the house and it gives me the space and time I need to think and meditate.

I hope that you keep coming back here and keep posting.

Take care,

Carol

Hi Debbie -


Not sure what kind of a "rut" you're in


but i've heard in the rooms


that AA is a program of "action."


 


Just my 2 cents
