    CAmpouts- seasonal activities kept my foot in the door. 

    I didn't transition from big city to small town well. And with a newborn,  was often in bed by many meeting times. 
    gotcha.

    I'm all for whatever helps you go to bed sober.

    Saw this shared and thought I would put it here in case it may be useful for someone who needs it at the moment

    Also he has followed it up with a video about the first step (which looks like it may become a series on his recovery)

    real wtf turn of events...

    15 yrs ago this fall its demanded I stay away. had been swiping moms debit  card for a couple years, regularly draining her account.. brother paying it all back .

    now 14 1/2 yrs sober.

    last week mom t-bones a car and breaks her leg and cracks an elbow. it's necessary for me to fly to vegas and deal with her car. I suggest limited power of attorney to do that. brother says I think you should access more than that. mom says take over everything til she's on her feet again then serve as back up when needed.....


    .seriously, WTF!?!?!?

    Oh Mickey, that’s so wonderful.  I’m sorry to hear about your mother and I hope she makes a full and speedy recovery. I’m glad they recognise the hard work and dedication that you’ve put into your sobriety.  You’ve earned their respect and trust.  Well done!

    First of all, I hope your mother is ok. I am sure that was traumatic. The fact that that your family is trusting you to take over everything is a true testament to your character, and all that you have overcome in the past 14 1/2 years. Your family is obviously very proud of you. Well done, my friend!!
