It's Been A Good Week

Hello Folks;
Hope everyone is doing well. I know that I am. It's been a trying week but I survived. It had its ups and downs but I stayed positive and it was well worth it. Still CLEAN. I guess now is as good a time as ever to start getting into some of the other things I do as my program of recovery. One of the first and most important things I do or use is have a sponsor who has a lot of years sobriety. This is a necessity for me. He's the one I go to when I need help to get through the tough times and ask for help. We get together every Wednesday morning and go over the things that I work on. We use the NA work book which I feel is an awesome way to work the steps. It really helps you to look at yourself and see where you've been. For me, this is the 2nd time I'm starting this work but since I've been to jail, we are working it much slower and I ask many more questions such as the way I feel and the thoughts that I get. He always makes me see the right way to get through but not without thinking it through. Believe me, it's no free ride. When I went to jail, man was he PISSED!!! I'm really just lucky to get him back. No wonder his nickname is "mad dog". I don't blame him for being mad either because he doesn't need to waste his time if I'm just gonna throw it away. One of the things I've learned through all the bullshit is honesty, and also a word he will not let me forget,"CONSEQUENCES". That word is pounded into me and it should be, because my consequences are now to great to fuck it up. I HATE JAIL!!! So for now this is just the tip of the iceberg for how I work my recovery daily. So for now it's getting late for me so I hope to be posting more this week and go more in depth with this. I hope everyone has a good and clean week ahead and talk to you ASAP. L8R. 'Recovering" Ron
