I don't have a home currently. I am separated from my family. My intials are S.B. I am an alcoholic. I want to do something about it, like pick up baseball. I live in temporary shelter from a local church group.
My wife is a nurse. I have 2 kids.  I own a home in the mountains. I play baseball. I dont know alot about alcoholism. I don't drink alcohol. I am indecisive.
I finally found a sponsor to help me through this difficult time. That is so good.  Have you met with the sponsor yet?  I'm not really sure how it works with sponsors? I have met with him and he is a really cool dude.  He basically just supports and motivates me to attend meetings and work on my sobriety. That's awesome!  Has the church that you're staying at been able to help you too? Yes, they have been very supportive.  I don't know what I would do without them because I have nowhere else to go. Have you had any contact with your family lately?  I know it can be tough. No, I don't think any of us are ready to starting talking yet.  Have you ever been separated from your family? I have never been separated from my kids for longer than 2 weeks when they were at camp.  I can't imagine what you're going through.  But you definitely need to take time to get yourself straight and strong again.   Yes, that is good advice and exactly what I'm trying to do.  I actually started playing baseball to give me something to focus on. I was just going to mention that...there are a bunch of us going out to the park after work tomorrow.  We could use one more person.  Would you like to join us?  I've got an extra glove you can use. Absolutely!  I really appreciate you asking.  Being active and around other people is a great help to me. Catch me after work tomorrow and I'll give you a ride down to the park.  Then, if you'd like, you can come have dinner at my house.  My wife makes a mean lasagne.
