Hi everyone, I wasnt ignoring everyone that posted comments and wonderful messages on my page. I just couldnt get on here. Everytime I tired to log on a message came up saying something was disabled. I cant log on at work either because it is filtered. Today must be my lucky day because I seemed to get on! Things are good, my holidays went smoothly. I missed you guys and this site! Anyway I will post comments again daily and keep everyone in my thoughts! Its good to be back. Have a great and healthy 2009! Love, Tracy 

Hi everyone! I am just checking in to say thank you for your support, I made 60 days and it feels good. Yesterday I went to a type of bingo game, some people brought booze with them, I saw alot on the tables. It looked good and for a moment my mind wandered to thoughts of how much fun the game would be and how the booze would enhance the game play typical alcoholic thoughts. I went to the rest room and looked at my Hazelden book and went back out there and felt free. Free that I dont need that problem in my life anymore. This morning bright and early I went on a trip to a religious retreat that also deals in alcohol and drug addiction. I had the best talk with my friend on the way there and back. I am reading alot of the literature and really putting myself out there with sober friends. I had a wonderful day today. I am lucky I have this progam and God in my life.    

Just got home from a meeting and got my 60 day coin! I felt so good going up to get it. My friend who has 5 years went with me, when the meeting was over we were saying the Serenity Prayer while we were holding hands she slipped her 60 day coin in my hand and said she wanted me to have it. It goes to show that this is a we program. I really love the feeling AA has given me. It meant so much that my friend gave me her coin that she had for all these years. I still am still so nervous to speak in front of everyone but I do try to get my hand up sometimes. I love the fact that everyone is helping each other stay sober, I always get something out of a share or a qualification. I just want to say how thankful I am to AA to have these 60 days.  

Happy Veterans day!  I just want to express my thanks to all the brave men and women past and present who protect our freedom and risk their life for our great country!! Words cannot express my gratitude towards our brave military. God bless you all!!

  Just want to say how thankful I am to Carson for this site! I know how much work goes into maintaining and running a website. Thank you so much, sober-space is like a breath of fresh air. I will not put down another site but I was disappointed in the direction it was going, I didnt write this blog to trash the other site. This blog is meant just to say how much I appreciate a place like this where I can find friends in sobriety and hear the message. I make meetings and use the phone but when I have free time I like to come on here and get that extra dose of sobriety! I also want to thank all my friends who post comments to my page they really brighten up my day, I sometimes cant want to go on the computer and see whats waiting for me. I try to send comments out as much as possible to also show how much everyones friendship means to me. Its people here and in my f2f meetings that were there for me whenever I relapsed. I want to be a power of example to that newcomer when they come in to that meeting for the first time. I have built in forgetters at times so I have to remind myself of that last drink and why I came into AA.

Thank you again Carson and everyone on here, I value your friendship more than you know.   Tracy
