EQUALITY

Our membership ought to include all who suffer from alcoholism. Hence we may refuse none who wish to recover. Nor ought A.A. membership ever depend upon money or conformity. Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an A.A. group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 563

Prior to A.A., I often felt that I didn’t “fit in” with the people around me. Usually “they” had more/ less money than I did, and my points of view didn’t jibe with “theirs.” The amount of prejudice I had experienced in society only proved to me just how phony some self-righteous people were. After joining A.A., I found the way of life I had been searching for. In A.A. no member is better than any other member; we’re just alcoholics trying to recover from alcoholism.

We are currently seeking a church to get involved in within the Hartselle or Decatur communities. Any recommendations? TIA

EDIT TO SAY, thank you all for the wonderful response!! We have a lot of places to visit now and I believe we will know when we find our Home church. Thank you all!!!

Sisters United Recovery, currently has beds available! If you or someone you know could benefit from our services please contact us. We want to help!!💕💕💕

Please come buy our stuff so we can have a place to help more women!!

Sisters United is a sober living home for women struggling with Substance Use Disorder. We give women a safe and structured living environment while THEY work on THEIR recovery. We are a 12 step program that implements bible study, and other Christian activities that are optional but highly suggested. We believe that recovery and our faith go hand in hand. The ladies gets jobs and pay their fines and recovery fees ( rent), drug test and any other expenses they may have. we provide transportation, to and from work, meetings, doctors appointments, church services and more. We believe highly in modeled behavior so we have leadership roles and our ladies in transition and our graduates are great at doing that.

Recovery is a process, there’s no magic pill, and we don’t have a magic wand to ” fix “ these ladies. We are responsible for our own recovery and it takes years sometimes to get our lives back on track. We are a 12 month program but if it was up to me it would be a complete 3 years but I know that is to long to think about when we first go to a program. Sisters United is in this for life. We still provide guidance for women that came into our lives many years ago. The point of this long post is FIRST to explain what we do and SECONDLY to explain that recovery is a process and the person in recovery is responsible for their own recovery.

If you know someone that is struggling with their recovery please have them reach out to us if you think our program will help them. Recovery is possible when we work for it!!

IT WORKS

It works—it really does.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 88

When I got sober I initially had faith only in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. Desperation and fear kept me sober (and maybe a caring and/or tough sponsor helped!). Faith in a Higher Power came much later. This faith came slowly at first, after I began listening to others share at meetings about their experiences—experiences that I had never faced sober, but that they were facing with strength from a Higher Power. Out of their sharing came hope that I too would—and could—“get” a Higher Power. In time, I learned that a Higher Power—a faith that works under all conditions—is possible. Today this faith, plus the honesty, open-mindedness and willingness to work the Steps of the program, gives me the serenity that I seek. It works—it really does.

Happy Friday!!!

I will share this every single time !!

Goodness, God has really been so good to us and has had His hand on us throughout this whole process. We have some exciting news coming up so please be on the lookout for our next announcement!! For a little hint it could possibly rhyme with the word GIFT😉😉.

NO ORDINARY SUCCESS STORY

A.A. is no success story in the ordinary sense of the word. It is a story of suffering transmuted, under grace, into spiritual progress.
— AS BILL SEES IT, p. 35

Upon entering A.A. I listened to others talk about the reality of their drinking: loneliness, terror and pain. As I listened further, I soon heard a description of a very different kind—the reality of sobriety. It is a reality of freedom and happiness, of purpose and direction, and of serenity and peace with God, ourselves and others. By attending meetings I am reintroduced to that reality, over and over. I see it in the eyes and hear it in the voices of those around me. By working the program I find the direction and strength with which to make it mine. The joy of A.A. is that this new reality is available to me.

The ladies in our transition program received an amazing gift at the conference this past weekend. I hope it helps them delve deeper into their books!

THE CHALLENGE OF FAILURE

In God’s economy, nothing is wasted. Through failure, we learn a lesson in humility which is probably needed, painful though it is.
— AS BILL SEES IT, p. 31

How thankful I am today, to know that all my past failures were necessary for me to be where I am now. Through much pain came experience and, in suffering, I became obedient. When I sought God, as I understand Him, He shared His treasured gifts. Through experience and obedience, growth started, followed by gratitude. Yes, then came peace of mind—living in and sharing sobriety.

Reminding them of love through simple actions. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
