She's Back!
Thank Heavens I managed to get a hot guy up today(teehee...up...)
A good friend relapsed this week. He had called me the night that he eventually used, I knew that there was something wrong, asked him to come over or to meet for coffee, but he kept saying he was ok. I know that I can only help someone in their recovery when they want help, that I do not have, nor do I want to have, the power to control people's sobriety. As much as I may kid about it, I do not want to be anyones higher power.
Still, I am sad when I watch people making mistakes and am not able to reach them. I am filled with gratitude that this friend called me today and asked that we get together this afternoon and tomorrow. I try to be available for people who are trying to stay sober as much as I can, being of service helps to keep me sober.
So join me in a prayer for my friend and for all those out there who are suffering today, if you don't pray just send out some great thoughts for him.
Maybe for me too, God knows we all can use help.

Good luck with your friend. You might remind him about the progress he has made so far, in that he is trying to talk about his problem, and maybe take another 24-hour desire chip/medallion.
For this he should truly be Grateful.
Progress, not Perfection.

Hey, you done good. There's nothing we can do but be available to those who need us. I read you everyday. Where do you get all these young (like you are) guys?
