Thanks everyone for being here & your patience if you stick this out! I'd like to share my ESH re Step 12 :) It took me a while to move from Step 11 as I was frightened & feeling overwhelmed that I wouldn't have anything to give to anyone else as I could still be confused in my own program.

Hello, Where to start? Well, I'm a recovering alcoholic and this September, God Willing, I will celebrate my 15th year of sobriety. The only reason I believe that I have "survived" in recovery is because of the 12 Steps. But my life has had more addictions then alcoholism. I am a co-depen...

I'm at Step 4, but the Step 4 & 5 Posting does very little if anything to encourage people to actually do the work nor does it give any guidance on how to work these steps effectively. Those who have face to face groups to go to with actual sponsors are lucky, but there are some here for whom this is the...

Hello, I've posted before and maybe I'm just a little confused. I wish that there was a regular chat room to go to. I've been trying to stop and I keep slipping up. I truly want to stop. It's affecting my life. I can't hold down a job and I feel suicidal. I've alienated all my friends so now I really don't have...

I am new to this group and I've been struggling with alcoholism since I was seventeen. Is there anyone here I can exchange messenger names with. I really need some support or at least someone to talk to when I want to drink. It's really hard to talk to my family and friends about it.

I am a mother of a 34 year old daughter who just got out of 101 days of re hab last week and has already relapsed. Is this enough of a concern that she should go BACK to re hab? Or is this maybe normal and needs to be sure and get to her meetings? She so far is refusing to go back to rehab, she says she made a mistake a...
