    OK, I’ve looked around and I’m assuming this is it? We go to alcohol anonymous meeting? Then come here? I am so confused, Maude, if you read this, I’m trying to join the Women in recovery. I’m going to assume that’s right? I was looking for your meeting, also about childhood trauma and addiction. I saw it somewhere. I’m lost,

    • Hey there Renee. It shows you joined Women in Recovery. This is a place for posts. For meetings and open chat go to the Online Meetings tab. I’ve done alot of research on childhood trauma and addiction. A good guy to start with that is Gabor Mate. You can find him on Youtube. He also has a great book called In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts.

    I’m trying to figure this out myself. When, and where are the meetings? This is different than the alcoholics meeting page and the chat there. I’m not sure. Let you know if I figure it out.

    Look, I’m not the most computer saavy person, and not sure how this meeting even works, Women in Recovery. I will have to look around on the page and see if I can figure it out. Do you have actual meetings? This is so strange and new and the way it’s laid out, I’m unsure. So, I have 31 days today since I took a drink. I’m plugging along.

  • Hi Sara, nice to meet you. I’m Renee. Don’t know what button I just pushed, text is different. Oh well, I will figure it out. Not too computer savvy.

  • Hi Linda. It’s Renee. I am about to make supper, so that’s it, I’m watching that too Lonely, Angry Hungry or Tired. I have relapsed again. I have about 3 weeks sober and clean again. I am about to go to another cookout, any other suggestions? I like what you said about emotions, getting feelings hurt, verifying what someone said to you or whatever…[Read more]

  • Hi Tina, I’m Renee. I have about as much time as you. I am still, after 13 years of in and out of the program, watching for any stressers or triggers that can get me. I am doing ok, so far, but, I have a big family cook out coming soon. I’m a little concerned, but, I have been through them sober. It’s not taking that first beer that usually makes…[Read more]

  • Hi, I’m Renee. I have about 3 weeks sober and clean. I have not too much trouble, I guess, being honest with myself about what I’m doing in sobriety. Well, maybe a little. I have a friend who is also going through the same thing, and I find I can talk to her so well. It’s great to have another sober person to talk to, she knows what exactly I’ve…[Read more]

    I just joined. Have to look for a meeting, to the right, here. It’s hot here, in Akron, Ohio. I’m in the a/c.

  • Renee posted an update 7 years, 11 months ago

    I haven’t been on here a minute. I relapsed a week ago. But, I’m starting over. I couldn’t remember how to get to this site, but, now I know. Let’s see what else I can find out.

    Me too. I get lost on this site! So many things at once. Just finished with a meeting. Very productive to me tonight. About honesty in sobriety. I realized I have never read The Twelve Traditions and Twelve Steps, and i have a copy! It supposed to really help with tying everything together. Can’t wait to start reading. But, I need to slow down.…[Read more]

    @traveler1984 Hi Linda! I’m feeling pretty good today, it’s a gorgeous day outside here, in Akron. I hope you are having a good day. Feel pretty positive, started a 4th step, not sure if I’m finished with it. Reading ” How It Works” in the Big Book. I threw the last one away, but bought a new one, and I tell you, I will never throw that book out…[Read more]

    Hi everyone! Please bear with me, I’m not as computer savvy as some. I see all these responses and I’m surprised, and not quite sure how to talk to people. I’m working the steps again, reading the big book, ( how it works), and feeling a little stronger everyday with the help of God and everyone on this website. It does work, if you reach out to…[Read more]

    Hi Melanie. I’m Renee and I’m 3 hours and 40 mins sober. Today is a new day. I plan to attend the meeting tonite. I’m reading the Big Book, saying the Serenity Prayer. Hope I hear from you, or see you at the meeting.

    Hi Doc. I’m Renee, alcoholic, addict. A.A. saved me before. That and a fine treatment center. I have since relapsed, but today, I’m starting sober. One day at a time. Reading the Big Book, Saying the Serenity Prayer.

  • Renee posted a new activity comment 8 years ago

    Hi Rachel. I just joined the group. I’ve been sober and clean since 6 a.m. this morning. I’m reading the Big Book again, and saying the Serenity Prayer. I’ve been through treatment before, so I know what needs to be done. I just really need some support of other people like myself. I don’t have a sponsor at the moment.

    Hi Bill. This is Renee, from Akron. Today I am grateful because I have been through treatment before and know what I must do. I’m kind of isolated, no car, at least not yet. Keep on doing what you’re doing. I’m here with you.

    • Thanks Rene, I had been in treatment twice prior to taking the program seriously. I truly hope you find the strength to get over the hump. I had to humble myself and pray to my higher power. God has removed the cravings and obsession. I had to put myself out there and get through the 5th step but I feel good today. I hope this finds you well.…[Read more]
