Abstinence

Hi all,
Well, this last Sunday I made my 30 days abstinent. So yesterday after work I went to an OA meeting and I got my little 30 day coin. It's red. :smile: I am so grateful to God and to those in the meetings, and to my sponsor in OA. I've just taken things one day at a time. If I think beyond that, well you know. :bigsmile: I am currently working on Step Two, and it's going well. So, just for today I will work the steps and stay abstinent. I will use the tools, read, write, connect with my Higher Power, and go to meetings.

If any of you have not yet gone to this site, or listened to the recorded meetings, I highly recommend it. There is only one meeting in town that I can make, so it's nice to listen in during the live morning meetings or the recordings. It's a part of OA and the website is "A Vision For You." I'll post it here:

click on "daily recordings" or "special edition recordings", then just click the blue link where it says "click to play."

Well, I hope this helps and that it finds each of you well today. :flowerforyou:

Patti

    Thanks for that link, I love listening to OA meetings and podcasts of speakers. The OA LA Intergroup has loads of podcasts on their website too which are free and always give me some inspiration. Thanks for reminder :)
