About Me

This space is here for everyone who is recovering from alcohol and/or drug abuse. We have found that the 12 steps and 12 tradtions have helped us in our path to recovery, and have used 12 step groups like AA and NA to learn more about recovery. This MySpace account, however, is not affiliated with these organizations.

My Interests

We aren't interested in what your drug of choice was, we aren't interested in how much you did. all we are interested in is that you're interested in taking the twelve steps to recovery. Here are

The 12 Suggested Steps

    We admitted we were powerless over alcohol and/or drugs--that our lives had become unmanageable. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
    Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
    Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
    Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
    Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and/or addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is in recovery is welcome here!
