I have been comming in and out of AA for alot of years, mostly court ordered. On July 3rd i made a decission to do what ever it took to stay sober. It took all the heart ach and all the jail time, lost jobs, lost relationships, lost soul for me to relize i had a problem. Thak God and AA i finely got it. Its God my sponsor, many mentors, and friends, meetings and living the program, every day carring the message to help others that keeps me sober.

AA is the only program that I feel comfortable with sharing any of my crazy thoughts. My sponser is someone that I trust and can share anything with. She is the most important person in my daily life other than The Man Above myself.

This is one of the first days in a long time that I am going to going to be sober. I have been makeing alot of excuses to keep drinking and I am just now seeing that all my reasons are are not worth the stress and pain I am puting on my life and my family. I refuse to let alcohol drive this spike into me and all those who love me anymore. I plan on joining my first meeting tomorrow night. Pray for me to stay strong till then.

Scott, just keep going to meetings every day. Don't worry so much about the "unmanagebility" phrase in the first step, it took me a long time recognize my unmanagebility, which was mainly emotional. I had no problem recognizing the reality of the first part of the first step, my powerlesness over alcohol.

Almost a week clean! I've been to a few meetings, gotten a sponsor and am on my first step. I guess the question I need to ask is exactly how has my life become unmanageable and in what ways? What makes me powerless over alcohol? Food for thought. Wish me luck. I'm praying for all of us!

I would give anything to have a ray of hope in my life right now. I can't stop drinking no matter what I do. I've been to rehabs, meetings, hospitals, and prison and yet I still continue to drink. I hit my knees and cried out to God today. I hope he heard me! I'm going to try AA one more time. I don't know what else to do. Pray for me.

Getting very close to 7 years now. Thank God for you "old timers" who taught me that the solution is in the book and kept the doors of AA open for a drunk like me. It was an old fashioned twelve step call that saved my life and brought to me that "rebirth" that the book talks about. Everything I am today, I owe to you precious old timers and big book thumpers. May God Bless All of You!!!!! Tim

I have been on a relapse on and off more on since 1998. I thought I could deal with it and stay in control. I've lost relationships, alot of my childrens respect and alot of respect for myself. I have missed out on so much life. Some thing has got to change and I believe it has to be me. However my last experience with AA, my sponsor betrayed me and my trust 5th step . I am afraid it might happen again, I have tried to start over many times and this issue always gets the best of me and I drink again. It's time to start again, please pray for me I find a way to let go of this resentment that keeps me returning to drinking.

I am an alcoholic who has still not completely decided to give up drinking. It gives me hope to know that there are others out there who are able to stop. I hope that one day soon I will be able to do the same. Its scary to think that a desire to stop drinking is often not enough to stop an alcoholic from drinking. As much as I would like to stop sometimes, I find myself drinking as quickly as a few hours later. To be honest, I've gone to at least a dozen meetings and I have felt almost nothing from my experiences. I have received no peace, no resolution, and I have not been able to stop. Although I've yet to have that feeling or that moment in which I feel truly empowered by a group or by God to stop drinking, I know that one day it will come. Until then, I'll continue to go to meetings and try to hurt as few people as possible. I thank God for AA and all the hope it brings to alcoholics like me. God bless all who read this post.

I had nearly a year of sobriety this time and don't understand why I chose to use again. Since then I have relapsed twice and I'm sick of the problem. I just can't seem to kick the problem when things in my life get out of control. I'm going to try once again with the help of AA.

Good morning!! My name is Tricia and I am an alcoholic. I remember a little over four and a half years ago not being able to say that sentence. What a wonderful thing that today after doing everything you people told me to do I can say that without one shred of guilt or shame. This program has changed my life. I never want to be that person again. Although I still have trouble dealing with fear. Creditors,doctors and the like. My boyfriend and I have decided to move to Tennessee. He was raised there in Linden. We will be traveling up there in the next few weeks. I am really afraid. All of my supports and friends what will I do without them. I know as long as I keep doing the next right thing I will be ok. I will work thru the fear with help of God and the fellowship. Thank goodness I have the solution today. Tricia

This really depressed me and I have been getting made fun of for the past 3 years. I haven't really been able to keep a girl because of my male pattern baldness and my day to day insecurities. The relationship I have with alcohol is the most intimate relationship I have ever had and it is the only thing that remains constant in my life. Please e mail me with your support. Thank you.

Find the right meeting for you. I have met great people at every meeting, but I will admit some of the meetings are "harder" or tougher edged. Know that the fight never stops. I want to have a drink this very minute, but I also made it through my toughest day to date recently. It hurts, but it can be done. DO NOT TURN BACK!!!

I guess my problem with Alcohol started around the time I hit middle school. It started out as just a cool thing with friends and slowly got worse. By the time I reached high school it had become a major problem. Some of my friends that drank were telling me that I had a problem. I guess at first I didnt want to accept it. My parents started noticing problems with me around my senior year, such as stealing, fighting, and swearing. I havent always been the best looking kid and I believe that if I would have had the right kind of girl in my life, I might have taken the right path in my life. I am scared of admitting my problem to the public tonight since it is my first AA meeting. I am looking for support and people who will care about this rough time in my life and can relate to my problem.

I have been thinking about gratitude today and God willing in Sept I will have been sober 4 yrs. What a phenomonal ride!I have cried and thrashed and shouted and worked and believed and accepted and kept on keeping on. Through events I used to think I would absolutely drink over and have not. How? I keep showing up, I am willing enough to listen and try it a different way and grateful enough to see the Grace I have been granted! There is truly nothing like this program, it really, really works! My love and gratitude forever to all of the members of AA.Here and everywhere someone reaches out a hand God bless you and keep you!

Anyone from the Shelbyville Murfreesboro area hanging out around here? I have been around recoverey for 15 year although not continuously sober. I go to a lot of meeting in Shelbyville, sometimes Murf. and Tullahoma, occassionally Nashville. We have a hapenning group here, hanging out at my sponsor's house. We also have a half way house that we operate with about 25 beds. Used to be co ed but the women's center is temporarily closed pending an upgrade to the facillities. Anyone care to hit a mtg. or talk about recovery, drop a line or post.

Still haven't slept much maybe two hours and still wide awake, but have also not had a drop of alcohol. Is this sleeplessness normal? How about the hot flashes? Surely my body is detoxing or something. Now that it is evening, the urge is much greater. Nothing to drink here anyway. At times today, I questioned whether or not this was necessary and maybe I could just limit my drinks. Yeah right. I guess the stupid ideas still creep around in our heads. Don't worry, folks, I'm not going to turn this into my personal diary, but just trying to make it 'til my first meeting tormorrow. Maybe these thoughts can help someone else going through it, too. I hope so. Hang in there. Peace.

Hi, I'm an alcoholic and I've been without alcohol for about 33 hours. I always drink alone at home starting around 5 pm. Didn't sleep a wink last night because I didn't have my usual eight to ten drinks. Yes, I could go through two or three 1.75 liter bottles a week. There is no booze in the house, either. As miserable as I look and feel today, I still feel hopeful. Quitting smoking 6 years ago after smoking for 18 years makes me feel confident about this difficult task, too. Thank God for smoke free AA meetings. Wish me luck, gang. I am going to an AA meeting tomorrow night to start the healing. I've admitted I'm an alcoholic, asked God to help me make it through another night tonight, and I'll ask my friends and family for understanding while treating this damned disease.

I have been sober and "FREE" for 35 days. I went back out after 2 1 2 years. I am happier now than I've ever been and I owe it all to my Higher Power and AA. I know I have to do the work in order to receive the benefits. I have excited about my future! It is so interesting to me that all addicts are the same. We think we are the only one that has done such crazy things but we find out just about every addict has done "crazy" things just like us. The Serenty Prayer gives me hope and peace each day. Not all days are rosy but there is definately a brighter future ahead. I am no longer stuck in the "fog" of addiction. Thanks for letting me share. Remember.... It is, what it is..... and we can not change the past.....God will forgive us! Who are we to say we are not due that forgiveness? So, in appreciation for his forgiveness, we must forgive ourselves.

Just spent the day sitting with an wet alcoholic who is now enroute to the funny farm. He has had 8 strokes, 3 heart attacks, open heart surgery, shot himself and survived, been struck by lightning and served l8 years in the pen. Yet, he still wants to sober up. Funny how God works in our lives! He kept me sober today and I think that he has a pretty good chance since he "has a desire to stop drinking".

Hi, I have never been on this site before and I am not sure if I am an alcholic or not, but I do not that alot of times I want to drink to be numb. It is the numbness that I wait for to help me cope with things from money problems to the problems of having adult children still living with us as well as 3 grandchildren. I would like to talk to other people to get some input or just to have someone to talk to about what I am feeling. My father was an alcholic and he died from it, and I always vowed that that would not happen to me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR from Muncie, Indiana. 2006 will hold many changes for this alcoholic, thanks in part to AA, The 12 Steps, Dr. Bob Bill Wilson and of course God. The year 2005 held it's ups and downs, as soon I'll write those out on two seperate columns. This sheet you could view like the old Clint Eastwood movie, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. The good I'll keep to remember how things were done, small miracles I'll call them. The bad would be the changes I must work on and so with the ugly. I would love to move out of the Hoosier State down into Tennessee. Not for a 'geographical cure', but to find employment. There is none here in Muncie, Indiana. I would have to count on old timers of Tennessee's AA to help me see this 'miracle' through, for I'd be a stranger and so would you, but with one thing in common AA. If there is anyone who would be willing to perform the ultimate 12 Step .... please contact me at: CreationsByKerry@aol.com I can let you know that I am a 39 year old white male, AA is my chosen life style as well as NA. To add something extra, I'm also the cousin to NASCAR'S Mark Martin who also is an alcoholic, if you have ever read his book or heard him tell his story on national television. I'm in search for a brand new life, in a brand new year, where I believe the good people of the South, the Confederates, will come to this Confederate Yankees resque and pull me out of this state of confussion. 1 2 of Muncie is from Tennessee, up around Jamestown, Birdsville and Paul Mall. My family is from Arkansas .... making me one of you all. I believe myself to be one great guy to get to know. God Bless and let's make 2006 the best year of our lives. Kerry James

AA for me has certainly been a journey. The only promises that are possible are those found on page 83 of the Big Book and ONLY, mind you, ONLY if we are WILLING to WORK for them! I certainly have not been willing a time or two or three. I have recently come back to the fellowship after relapsing 1 day prior to my 2 year chip hense the email address of 121902. My new sobriety date is now 90305 but I will retain the old address as a constant reminder. Though it could could be said that that if nothing changes nothing changes...LOL!!!How right the old timers are! I have many sobriety dates. 10 can't remember 1991 no sponsor 8 1 2 months clean , 3 30 93 4 98, 12 19 02 12 18 04. I like to refer to them as my Tour's of Duty Insanity Tour 1 and so on. I could go on and on...and plan on visiting with you again, but for now leave you with my current favorite sentence from page 87 of the Big Book "What used to be the hunch or the occasional inspiration gradually becomes a working part of the mind."

hello, i was sober for two months, then i started drinking at about 10 of my previous levels. i thought that i could be a "normal" person, and drink like one. well, apparently, i can't drink like one because even though i kept the intake down, it still affected my spirit and soul, and i didn't think that could happen at such low levels of drinking, especially when i stopped when i planned on stopping. but now, i am 8 days sober. and more confused and challenged than when i first got sober in treatment. i was happy and grounded, and now i really don't know which was is up. i ask for your prayers and support, and thank G d for all y'all.

I used to feel that I needed something outside of myself to make me ok with being me. Thanks to this program, I have a confidence that beams from my smile and echos within my laughter. Life isn't always great... but then there's Geico. LOL, just kidding. No, seriously... when I feel like my life is getting to me sometimes, that's just my reminder to pray, meditate, call my sponsor and go to a meeting. By the time I've taken those few steps, I've either forgotten why I was upset, or weakend its power. I hope everyone who reads this can either relate or start doing the same.

I got sober in Brentwood almost 3 yrs ago,by the Grace of God, this program and my willingness, I will stay. I had been in and out for 10yrs,never "getting" it. "It takes what it takes" and for me that was a hard brush with death and the Grace of God to be saved . I was "dead" and brought back, and none to happy about it at first either.I have found sobriety and fellowship in Nashville and surrounding areas, like none I have ever encountered. Maybe I was just ready, maybe y'all are terrific here Maybe both.Hope now resides in me, a gentle breath when the world gets rough.People like Barbara H. and her"bunch" gave friendship and hope. Thanks for extending a hand every time and showing me how to extend one back! Grateful to be here,a sober drunk! Vanessa

My Daddy, Bill Cleveland, passed away a little over 2 years ago with 37 years of sobriety. Up to tne end, AA was his life blood he loved the program and everybody in it. In his later years he called the "One Day At A Time" group on Holly Street his home but growing up in Alateen we went to meetings in Woodbine, St. Joseph, 202 and I even remember the oldest on Union Street in downtown Nashville. He loved this program so much and I miss him so bad. I would love to hear from anyone who may have known him. I know he touched many people's lifes. Thank you for giving me a Daddy...without the program I wouldn't have had one.

Brave I am, and full of spunk I can talk to anyone but take away my golden beer and I am shrunk and all but gone........ Life spend looking through a bar room glass may seem oh so very grand but take away my crystal crutch and I'm a weak and shallow man....... I know the truth, but I hide the fact that my popularity is fluid I long for love of my self but I drink to hide my sewage...... Self loathing is a common trate that's how humanity thinks but only drunks try to hide the truth behind their drinks...... If only I could see my worth and let my soul rejoice I wouldn't have to kill myself In pointless drinking solace...... We start to drink because its fun we think we're oh so old but before we have a chance to stop our life is null and void...... The world is a wonderful globe so full of beauty and grace I wish I could give up the drink so I could enjoy this place

Hi I'm Brian, and I've been in AA overhere in England for ten years. I'm also a songwriter musician with a Billboard album of the month some years ago and I'm coming to Nashville in around September to try and make my way in the music business. This is an exciting step for me, as well as a big one, and so any friends or contacts I can make before I arrive would be great. If you're interested drop me a line at my email address.

Just wanted to say that I'm grateful for AA because without it and the other wonderful 12 Step Programs that grew out of it, I would most certainly be dead today. Today I'm learning to trust my Higher Power one day at a time. "I sought my God whom I could not see I sought my soul which eluded me I sought my fellow man, and I found all three." It's about people. It's about love. It's about recovery. I kick and scream and whine but I love it! Thank you. I belong.

A friend from work has helped me reach out for sobriety and today is day 13. The one thing that he has said that has helped me the most was this, "You don't have to quit drinking forever, just for today". To those who are starting, those who are still working, thank you.

I am signing this wall as a rememberance of Harry Blumm who pasted away yesterday. He was one of the people who was there when I got there over 26 years ago. I was so sure he was one of the ones who had many years of sobriety when I got there and come to find out he had just a couple of years more than me. Well he had what it took to help me find a way out of the way of death I had gotten myself into. He always ask me how I was doing and made me feel like he really cared about me and that was a new to me. At that time little did I know that he was doing what it took for him to stay sober. He shared Dont Drink And Go To Meeting All Else Will Follow. Well that is true for all drunks who find thier way too aa. Bring body and mind will follow. Nothing like going to aa and tring to drink again and have fun, it an't possible. AA messed up my drinking. All I could think about was why I couldnt get sober. So here is the advice he gave me when I came. Get up in AM and ask for help from god to stay sober, go help another human being, go to a meeting and listen, work for a living and then at night thank God for all things that came in that day. Try It It Works

keeping it real by signing the wall. I wish the best to all of you. I'm not an alcoholic, but my father and brother is and they have no control. My brother is 34yrs old and he was just told yesterday that his liver would not last much longer. That just made it worse, now he pops prescription bills for pain, all the time on top of drinking. My dad does not help he takes him out to drink every weekend. especially now that mom past away. They both don't have much to do with me because I refuse to out and help them drink their self to death!! Like I said "I wish You All The Best" Don't let anyone get in your way. Say a little prayer for my Dad and Brother.

I have been in and out of AA for over a year now, and cant understand how these people just stop all together. I have been making outreach calls everyday and going to meetings everyday, but cant seem to ever get to 30 days...I know that i am powerless over alchol and want desperatly not to drink... but find myself always ending up reaching for that glass of poison. Although i dont drink every other night like i used to, i want the obession gone completely, if there is anyone that can relate to this and could help please write.
