I'm celebrating 18 months of game free, today.
I went to my first NA meeting tonight, a late nite. As we ended it was midnight and so I made 18 months game free right then. They gave me a keytag with 18 on it.
They asked me to explain how I made it and I actually had a hard time saying.
Obviously I've been blessed with nothing to play on most of this year. And I've been slacking my program... so danger alarms... gotta dig into steps.
Been doing step 1 work for my sponsor and ill post more of that soon, probably Sunday. Busy until the.
Olga, thanks for helping save my life.
OLGA Home Page: "We advocate and provide a 12-Step Program of recovery. For those who are interested in a formalized meeting approach, we provide both a traditional 12-step program and a modified program for atheists and agnostics." I advocate and use the 12 steps programs, which have helped tens of millions of addicts of all kinds recover.
In NA we have the 18 month Chip... Got your Olga equivilant here! Grats.

BRAVO!!!
That's awesome BBH! So glad you are here. Keep in contact, would'ya?
Hugs
Congratulations, BBH! Good to hear that you're still stepping.
Something I recently heard at a meeting regarding the challenges and obstacles we encounter - "just a hill for steppers" which I interpret as meaning that the hurdles are doable for us now that we're acquiring real skillz. :)
Acceptance. When I am disturbed, it is because a person, place, thing, or situation is unacceptable to me. I find no serenity until I accept my life as being exactly the way it is meant to be. Nothing happens in God’s world by mistake. Acknowledge the problem, but live the solution!
Congrats Michael and thanks for sharing this. Glad to see you checking in here.
Face to face meetings are great. I get so much out of my AA meeting and the occasional NA meetings I attend. I hope someday OLGA membership will grow large enough in many places to host regular face-to-face meetings.
What you feed grows, and what you starve withers away.
:)
Many more, one day at a time.
Keep your sobrity date, it is the best one you can have.
Steps may help.
