Shalom,
   I was signed up with GYE over a year ago when I was sent out of town for work. Not just out of town but way out of town. Without the ability to attend meetings, calls, or to access GYE I relapsed with my first addiction issue first. I am a recovering alcoholic, and when I give way to that illness all others follow suit. I fell hard and fast in all areas of my life. I am 60 days sober today from substances, working the 12 steps with a sponsor and was eager to get involved with GYE again and to start attending SA meetings as well. I am happy to see many of the strong men still here and posting regularly. Nice to be back!

Thank you GrowStrong. Nice to meet you as well! Something is different this time around. Having experienced a real closeness with HaShem in sobriety I was dying inside without it, distant from him. It became an easy choice to get sober again. A life distant from G-d is no life at all.
