Paul,
Great job on the 19 days! I see you live on the west coast! We live close enough to VA beach to take day trips or even stay in a hotel for a few days.
My hubby struggled for 11 years before he could get victory. It took me separating from him in the home before he could wake up. I can see changes in him already.
We tried two different Celebrate Recovery meeting before we found one that we both liked. The meeting that we're going to is actually maintenance for after we take the "step" classes. I'm not sure when they'll start again. I found a women whose been through it and she said I can call her and talk to her so she's like a sponsor for me. But, my hubby will have to find another one. The last one really didn't click right with my hubby.
My H is going to post on here, he's just having trouble with his account. But, he said reading on here the last week has opened his eyes to a lot of thing.
I know I got scared to open up about what I've been through. I recently had a friend of 8 years rip be to shreds for opening up about my marriage. She has no problem with P. She told me, "it won't make his **** fall off." Well, I'm to the point in my life that if you don't like the REAL me, then you're not friend at all.
My hubby listens to the Bible audio or music like you do all the time even when he sleeps so that's a great idea for changing your though life.
One day at a time is right.
I'll be prayin' for ya!

Hey Paul,
19 days is such a great gift! Praise the Lord.
But I will make a special prayer for you about your health. I'll have my family pray for you tonight. I definitely want to have God see you through this.
I was starting to get a little worried. Where's Paul? So thanks for sharing. It's really encouraging. And please keep us informed.

By the grace of God, I have not had to act out since I first reconnected with blazing grace. As for my health, I had a real scare. I went in to an ENT for some painful white spots under my tongue. The doctor told me on the spot that I had tongue cancer, and did a biopsy to determine what type it was. He said that I had to have part of my tongue removed. We were only waiting for the results to come back to schedule the surgery. We were shocked!! He ordered a cat scan of the soft tissue in my neck and my lymph nodes, and they came back clean! Praise God! During the week it took to get the results, I came to terms with the thought of loosing 1/2 of my tongue, the best I could. I had at least accepted the fact that it was going to happen, and we were going to move on. Meanwhile my wife mobilized 1/2 of Bakersfield to pray for healing. I was taking Vicodin for the pain and the day before I was to get the results I woke up with out pain. So I didn't take a pill. The next day I received a call, it was my doctor. He explained that he had wonderful news! He said that he doesn't know what happened, but there were no traces of cancer at all in the biopsy! He said, "make an appointment in three month and we'll look at it." More will be reveled....

Thank you Lord, for touching Paul's life and body. And thank you, Paul, for sharing that amazing testimony. God really moves when people pray.

I'm on a huge 6 week road trip with the family. We are in DC right now, but we're going to NYNY tomorrow for 3 nights, we're tenting and staying in koa cabins, we have covered a few places in the south, and now on our way to New England after a stay in NY. We plan to come across the northern states and see niagra falls and Yellowstone, maybe Rushmore,we're not sure yet. OK, here's the dirt... I have fallen a few times, but I will come back fast. I stopped participating in BG and that's what happened. That's it! I walked away and acted out within a week. Well thanks for checking on me Kevin, next time I wanna act out, I make the same effort to get on here
Thanks, Paul

Well thanks for checking on me Kevin, next time I wanna act out, I make the same effort to get on here Hey Paul, Here's a concept that I had to adopt for myself. I have to get on Blazing Grace on a regular basis, period. If I wait until I wanna act out, than I've waited much too long. If I can't post on here when things are okay, what makes me think I'll have the strength to come here when things are not okay?

Paul, have fun on your trip and thank GOD for your improved health!
Check in when you're able to do so and may God continue to help you work on your sobriety. I know even the site's owner says it takes a while to completely defeat SA. He fell so many times and I know my husband has as well. If you leave your name and address on Mike's thread in resources, he has offered us his first book or his 100 day Devotional for free. We have both and they are great reads. Hubby and I are reading them together. You and yours are in my prayers. May your trip be safe!!
