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. ---
