Support groups...
After a thoroughly humbling and exhilarating 4-year anniversary in AA, I came home watched two episodes of 'Buffy' with a heavy heart. It seems that my role as sometime caregiver to my aging mother is beginning to take its toll. I told all the folks at the meeting that I would be reaching out to other support groups for help, and I will.
It only took about 20 minutes on-line to fine the info that I need. I now have contact numbers, and a partial list of scheduled meetings all within 30 minutes of home. I will make some of them part of my week.
I need help.
I need to know that I am not alone.
I need to cry and speak to someone who really understands how frustrated, angry, and terrified I have become.
If there is one thing I have learned in AA it is to ask for help.
Thank HP for keeping me sober today.

I'm so glad that you found what you needed. Best wishes!
Congrats on your four years. That's pretty amazing. I've got just under 8 months and people like you are an inspiration...
love,

stumbled onto your blog this morning. thanks for the honesty, I've learned that if you don't start sharing about whats "real" with you, then people don't know how to help. Four years is awesome, but doesn't exclude you from pain...keep talking about how you feel...it's an amazing program isn't it?
Happy New Year John!
