I am on first day as well, I am sure most of have tried multiple times. I am praying that God as I understand him, will give me the opportunity and strength, to make this last time. I don't think I have another attempt at Recovery in me.

Hello my friends. I got this link for this yesterday from my telahealth that had to stop using 11 US States that was prescribing Suboxone. So I just made my profile it looks to be but still learning it all. But yeah I wanted to come in and say hello to everybody I get to be a little bit shy on the video but hopefully one day I'll be able to turn it on and jump in the conversation with you guys

My sponsor used to tell me "if isolation is the hallmark of addiction, then a connection with others must be part of our recovery." I sat alone in self pity drinking every night the last few years of active addiction. Yet, through spending time in the rooms, I find that opening up and actually talking to others about my daily life.......problems, funny things that happen at work, family stuff, concerns, basically anything and everything. I feel connected to those people. It took a while of coming around and hanging out after meetings but I have a group of friends and we all share stuff. When they talk I listen and it gets me out of my head. When I talk they listen and they help me. It takes some time but I haven't felt alone in months.
