I have missed ya'll. Computer is back up and running. My HP did for me what I couldn't do for myself. Without being able to come here I had to go to meetings F2F. I am now working another 12 Step program and feel as if I am growing by leaps and bounds. Some days I feel as if I am taking giant steps backwards, but know that is not true.
Things here are going well. The kids are getting bigger by the hour. My husband is not only still working his program, but is very involved in his home group. They gave him a key and he opens and chairs a meeting one night a week. I can see the progress in him, but more importantly, I can see the progress in myself.
Humbling myself to admit that I don't have all the answers and admitting I am powerless over other people, places and things is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I take that back...After sitting in a few weeks worth of NA meetings I realized that I also had a problem with drugs. I didn't realize it because I was justifying my use with the idea that mine came from a doctor. If everyone else would just act right my life would be fine...The hardest thing I had to do was stand up and admit I was an addict and pick up a white chip.
I am going to meetings daily. I go to two on three days a week and three on Saturdays. I am learning to focus on myself and not on my A. I am recovering slowly and learning to develop a relationship with a power greater than myself. I still have terrible days and good days with terrible moments. I know that I would not have had the "Courage to Change the things I can" without each of you, the support of this group and my HP.
Welcome back ((((((((powerless))))))))) Hp took my computer away too. I ddint get to f2f meetings however i was forced to be ok and had no one to lash out at. I survived!!!!!! I came back few weeks ago. I am so glad things are going well for you. Congrats

So good to have you back! I'm hoping HP will make my computer last until next year when I get my tax return! lol
HP does work in strange ways. I've been attending lots of AA meetings with hubby, and the the majority of the focus/topics seems to be about Step 3. Must be an extra need for HP these days. Hmmmmmmmmmmm........
Live strong,

Glad to have you back. I was wondering how you were...I'm glad to hear things are going well for you and the A. You are right HP has a way of forcing out there when we need it the most. It sounds like you are both taking accountability for your addictions and healing. ODAT!!
Blessings,

It's good to see you back. And the strangest thing, you were on my mind yesterday, as I was reading posts, I was just wondering where you are and how you were.
That is so fantastic. What an inspiration to all of us. Keeping your hands off hubby's recovery and focusing on your own. That is so cool!
Hope to hear more from you, now that the computer is up and running for ya! We need your ESH!
