Testing my new twitter feed service, to see if this updates my feed on Twitter. I think Twitter is going to be a huge source of support to the sober communities rising up on the Internet.
There's a new online community that helps people in recovery, or people just getting out of rehab, to make connections with other sober people online. If you went into rehab, we want to hear your story. If we use the story, we will publish it so it will hopefully help others who are considering doing the same. Please remember that anonymity is very important to you and... Read More
Join our new online community for newcomers to AA and AA Sponsors. Join us if you have a desire to stay sober or to be an online sponsor. This is service work only. Please do not solicit. If you have a (recovery related) business however, you can promote it on your personal profile page
I was at my usual AA meeting this morning, the same meeting I go to every single day. I love this meeting, but like any group you may belong to, you may have varied opinions on certain topics. Old Timers are understandably more rigid toward doing things like when they were new, 20 plus some years ago. "When I was a newcomer, they made me do this or do that".... Read More
Twitter is all the craze right now, and if your in recovery and are not using Twitter, you are probably missing out. Check it out and click this link: Follow Me
I went into Google looking for some good AA Chat rooms and didn't find very many. Does anybody know where there is some...some good AA Chat rooms? I think chat is so embedded in our culture now, all be it a scary fact, that we can't ignore this technology and need to find ways to use it and implement it properly. If you know of any good AA chat rooms, one's we can link... Read More
Everyone in recovery has to eventually face up to the fact that, from time to time, you're going to encounter a slippery situation, or go into a place where there is drinking going on. A family reunion or a work related party, are a few examples. The rule of thumb early in recovery is if you're afraid that you're going to drink, then either don't go, or take someone from...

I've personally experienced the great feeling of working the 12 steps of alcoholics Anonymous, and the feeling of contentment that you can get. Eventually I got to the point that I wanted more of that, but simply going to meetings alone is not enough...not if you're like me and you want MORE. Sponsoring, Fellowship and Service is what helps me continue to grow and mature... Read More
Lets face it, the Internet is here to stay and you can make a god connection anywhere, right? I've found in a work evironment, that after you make the adjustment, you can inspire and encourage people. Who knows, maybe even better. I know some very smart people who only communicate this way because its what they feel most comfortable with. So why not AA? I think the... Read More
The big book of AA tells us that we as alcoholics get three choices, and only 3:
We can: Sober up, get Locked up, or Covered up.
This is a potentially fatal disease if left untreated. If your Dr. diagnosied you with a terminal illness, and gave you no hope of survival if left untreated....most of us would seek treatment. What if that treatment was going to meetings,... Read More
I did find this much more funny than the humans. Probably because I am one...human? or animal? Actually I'm probably both. Yes, definitely, both :)) Enjoy!
Alcoholics Anonymous 12 steps, and the confusion between the 6th step and 7th step: Step 6 is...."Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character" simply means that we are ready for step 7, and ready for God to remove those things he (we) finds objectionable. Shortcoming and Character defects are essentially meaning the same thing except... Read More
The vast majority of alcoholics that I have met with (there are exceptions), have been thrown off their spiritual center (knowing intuitively, how to consistently do the right thing), from an fairly early age. I include myself in this regard. Experiences, especially as a child can work to warp a persons perception of the world, to the extent that a human's natural... Read More
If you get the chance, you must go out to Blockbuster and rent; 'Peaceful Warriors'. Its a movie with Nick Nolte who plays his part very well in this inspiring and enlightning movie. The movie is based on a true story and if you're someone who either has problems with the whole God thing, or not, should equally be a benefit. It's main message is to live for the moment,...

"Relapse is a part of recovery", or; "You can't have recovery without relapse" I've heard this concept quite a bit, mostly coming from people who relapse. Although its not exactly "AA" to question anything "AA", that is what a blog is all about, in my opinion. My story includes 5 or 6 relapses, usually after about a day or a week of binge drinking, before getting back to... Read More
The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous is a process. Its my experience and from what I've witnessed, the process you go through while working the 12 steps, has the potential to change your life forever. If you are thoroughly honest with yourself and god and another human being, you will be amazed before you are half way through. Everyone has probably experienced the... Read More
