Grateful for Online recovery!

I got sentenced to the rooms of AA on Dec. 8th 1983 and immediately wanted what you folks offered in the live meetings I was attending. I soon realized that in order to continue my sobriety I needed to get busy in step work with a sponsors help from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Since that time its all been a growing experience of learning about life and dealing with the Grace of a Higher power allowing me to continue learning without drugs and booze.

I feel so blessed and grateful and blessed that in my 3rd and 4th year of recovery in 1987 I was in a major accident where I spent several months in the hospital where my home group brought meetings to me in the hospital and also I found an AA group online back east in Bangor Maine called Lamp Lighters Group that had online meetings I could listen to. So the online meetings have been going on for a long long time.

Extremely grateful these past several years since 2020 where I have now been able to stay involved with local groups on the west coast closer to my home here in Arizona that I actually call my home group on line. When I retired in 2004 from Motorola I moved for the Mesa, Arizona up to the mountains and moved off Grid and love the mountains and settled up here, I do a lot more online meetings then in person due to distance from the local meetings out here. Blessed to even still be alive and sober to this day, finding that gratitude and spiritual growth have allowed the continuation of a wonderful sober life.

Enjoying life one day at a time and continuing the wonderful life of sober living by the grace of God’s blessings.

Sincerely, Mickey A.
Taylor, Arizona.
