Update For 12-steppers – Dec 2024

This month, we had many positive comments as usual. These often are great reminders of what it was like before we got sober as well as how much is at risk. Thanks to all the Steppers who sent them in and please, anytime you get a good comment from a caller, please call them out to us:

– Thank you for the reply! I’m really looking forward to being a part of Intergroup and will put those dates on my calendar. 

-Thank you for taking the time to write to me.  I’ve already found what I am looking for through your mail.

– Reading your story was inspirational in the part that really clicked with me was even if you haven’t lost everything which I haven’t just wait. I just got out of the gym trying to reestablish good habits and I’m sitting in my car reflecting on that. That’s a powerful message.

-Thank you and [others] for reaching out. I’m excited to get started and I’m so grateful that you all can articulate yourselves+ so well and help me identify with it. It’s appreciated more than you’ll ever know. I’ve downloaded the app right now and I’m looking forward to meetings then starting a more fulfilling chapter of my life and closing the chapter on being an active alcoholic.

– Thank you. I appreciate your assistance and will start the process of taking one step…

– Thanks for sharing your story..Today was the start of my new journey, had my first Aa meeting. I feel like this is possible.

– Thanks. So many links don’t work on my computer.

– Good evening ! Thank.u for your email.  Am so amazed  how much support am getting ! Thank u!

– Thank you so much for that informative email and sharing your personal experience with the drinking.  I feel absolutely terrible for the moment as this is my first sober day. It is just very difficult, as we all know.  It all really started when I retired, 4 years ago. I fell into a dark hole, was alone and the family is overseas in Belgium. The alcohol was the only thing that helped me, at the time. From then on, it was difficult to stop. Today I attended the meeting in Somerset West and found myself a very nice lady, who wants to sponsor me. I will see her again Saturday at the next meeting. She already has given me hope. I believe time is the healer but the craving is the worst, for the moment.I will definitely look at the links you sent me.

– Thank you for replying. I’m trying to be a better me one day at a time. Putting my trust in the plan and my higher power has given me tools and resources I didn’t know I had or needed. I look forward to being a part of this community for the future.

– Thank you for contacting me, thank you for the good advice that I will follow. See you soon.

– Hello, thank you so much for your response and support. I have been attending meetings and found a sponsor. Feeling hopeful and doing the work one day at a time. Wishing you all the best on your journey and please connect anytime.

-Thank you for all this information, I really appreciate it.

– Thanks for the response, I just attended my first AA meeting about an hour ago, close to where I stay. I am really glad that I went there and met the beautiful people who are part of that group. I really do want to change, one day at a time. Thanks again.

-Thank you very much. I’ll pass the information to him.
