Alright, so I'm new

[KBA123]

Never in my life did I think I'd be joining a group like this (don't mean that to sound bad), but I'm talking more about my circumstances and not the people in the group itself.
Anyways, from what I see, looks like a nice bunch.
So hi...:17:

:67: Hi KBA123. Glad you are here. Please make yourself at home and look around the board. I am Jan, recovering alcoholic/addict living in Oklahoma.

:52: KBA123 :17: I am Tammy, an alcoholic and drug addict. Glad to have you join us. You know you are not alone in how you are feeling right now. I think we all have been there at time or another. Please make yourself at home here. I look forward to hearing more from you. Keep coming back and sharing with us. :42:

Thanks guys, basically I'm an ACOA, sadly and unfortunately enough.
Never really realized how serious of a problem it was till now.
I'm trying to convince myself at 30 years of age that's it's never too late to get on with life, but that is more than a tall order for me right now...but hey.
Thankfully a customer of mine who is a recovering alcoholic told me about ACOA meetings locally.
So I thought before going to any of those meetings, I'd check things out online.
Thanks for the welcome.:17::1:

[KBA123]

Oh Ill try to, sometimes hate thinking about my situation, so maybe coming here all the time won't be such a good idea for me. I'm just confused I guess.:sad:

Hi KBA, Just try to keep an open mind about everything. Try everything and see what you like best - what works for you. Keep coming back. :42:

[KBA123]

I'm really trying to keep an open mind, I rrrreally am.
But thanks again, I will do my best to stay here. :)

KBA123 what is an ACOA? Many of us had horrible situations coming in. Personally I was homeless, went to jail 3 months sober and had no job and absolutely no reason to live but to pay bills. Hang out keep an open mind and you might just find some friends who have been through what you are going through and/or worse.....Remember we shall not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.

Oh sorry, Tipp' I assumed everyone knew what ACOA meant. Adult Child of an Alcoholic.

Like you, I feel that's all I'm living for, paying the bills. As for the past, perosnally, I feel like it's better to shut the door on it, but i could be wrong, maybe I'm not. I guess I'll learn.
