Hi!
Emmie W., BIPOC, Canadian- Caribbean, 44 years old. I've lived and traveled all over the world, now settled in Australia for the last 16 years. I am so grateful to be here, alive, and sober.
I worked in technology most of my life so I'm VERY comfortable with any form of communication. I've found Google Meet to be the best as it's free and without a time limit like zoom. But I'm happy to meet you on any platform you're comfortable with.
It's the joy of my life to sponsor another and give what was so freely given to me. I sponsor the "old way" by the Big book and will give you a solid, bare bones sobriety that will survive as a foundation to build your new life around.
This can only work if you are willing to go to any lengths to be sober. If you're not ready, or not willing, I cannot help you.
I love AA and feel a responsibility to ensure that the hand of AA is always there for the next wonderful human who reaches out to grasp it.
Yours in service,
Emmie
I went to my first AA meeting 6th April 1991 and I've kept coming back since and with the help of AA & my Higher Power I have not had a drink a day at a time. I did not drink every day but I needed to drink at weekends to keep me sane to help release the madness in my head. I drank mainly in pubs but I remember thinking if I keep drinking I ll have to drink at home. I did not like being drunk in public (my pride). I could no longer keep up the pretense of being ok when internally I was cracking up. At the end I was suicidal & afraid to die in case I went somewhere worse. Thanks to prayers & my Higher power I found AA and got a fellowship & a program for living.
