Suggested Links

This post is all about other places on the Web I have found that offer recovery resources worth checking out.

I shall begin with a personal favorite: The Jaywalker.  This site offers all sorts of things from humorous to quite serious.  There are step guides, photos, funny things like “Rent-A-Sponsor” and links to other sites.  So please check out the Jaywalker.

There are times when I can’t find the right medallion locally or need some sort of recovery-related gift or item outside of the Internet.  When this is the case, I turn to the Recovery Emporium.  I have ordered many things from them in the past with satisfaction.  Things were delivered quickly, in good shape and as ordered.

If you are in Connecticut, a very valuable resource is the Area 11 Web site: www.ct-aa.org.  There you will find contact information for various committees, meeting schedules for the entire state and listings of local events by district (if somebody bothered to submit them).  A nicely done site with a great staff of volunteers.

A New Year of Possibilities!

2012 has arrived and with it (I hope and pray) a new attitude on my part and perhaps my wife's, as well.  I have resolved to surrender to my compulsive over-eating (which is ushering me toward insulin), get in better physical shape and get active in a Bible-based Church.  It has been a while since I have had a regular place of worship and I know it would do me a lot of good by bringing me closer to the Lord. Romans 8:28 King James Version (KJV)   28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

One Day At A Time

Early in sobriety everybody said "take it a day at a time" or "one day at a time."  Sometimes, it was 5 minutes at a time.  I sure thought I had a grasp on that concept back then!  Of course, being new, the focus was strictly on going another day without a drink or chemical substitute.  Today the focus tends to be more on confronting those many "faces of fear" I learned of.  I thought those faces existed only to haunt me; through my tenure in this fellowship, I have discovered they actually motivate me to move into a closer relationship with my Higher Power. I relish the spiritual enlightenment that comes with that. As the years advance, I have come to terms with another meaning of living a day at a time, one not so easily defined by words as it is through experience.  During my journey through sobriety, I have experienced many wonderful things, brought about by continually staying sober and gaining years on the planet. ...

Committing to a Home Group

And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. -Hebrews 10:25 (NLT)   One of the best things I ever did after joining the fellowship was to commit to a home group. I often hear people say they belong to "the best group in the fellowship" or something similar -- I guess it's great that they feel that way. In fact, I think that we should always feel that way. Join a home group right away. You're not getting married. If the group doesn't work out for you, then find another. In most places, there's more than enough to choose from. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” -Matthew 18:20 (NLT) A home group is the place where (after a while) we get to know each other very well and can tell with something is wrong or we're feeling a little off. It is the best place to start with a service commitment. Do you reme...
