Good Morning Everyone and Happy Halloween.
Wanted to take a moment to recognize all of you in early recovery and struggling a bit.
Reach out to your recovery network and stay close to the program.
When I first got sober 21 years ago I remember leaving rehab. When i got thru security at the airport, I went to my gate and sat down. Literally a few feet from where I was sitting was a neon beer sign flashing with a bar full of drunken people. Things were very different in those days but my counselor had told me I could count on others to help me thru my first few days. I found a phone on the wall and told them I was struggling. Seconds later I heard the announcement. Would a friend of Bill Ws please come to my gate. within minutes I was surrounded by people from all walks of life and we had a meeting right then and there. We are here for you but you have to take the necessary steps and yell for help. Easy to say but hard to do!!
I wish you all the best on your recovery journeys. We are all on separate journeys but we can’t do it alone……Peace in your hearts
Paul
