    Who are you? Jennifer

    Where are you from? Hillsboro, OR

    What’s your background? I was a teacher and evaluator for preschoolers with handicaps, Early Childhood Special Educator. I am now retired.

    Where do you live? same as above

    What do you do for work? Mostly in my garden when the weather permits.

    What are your interests? Learning how to fully surrender to God, gardening, my children and grandchildren, becoming sane.

    What do you hope to gain? Sanity, sobriety, peace, health, to become fully alive.

    What are you struggling with? Oh boy .. pride, trying to control situations, forgetting that God is in charge .. I am still trying to figure out what God’s plan for me is.

    What are your concerns? I am figuring out my life moment to moment, step by step. I do not yet have a sponsor; however, I have a good friend and a Spiritual Director and an in person weekly CIR group and with the grace of God I have made my way through Step 5. I am hoping that the struggle I have gone through with Step 4 and 5 will produce good fruit for the rest of my journey.

    What can I expect from this group? Where to from here?

    Hi. I have started reading Step 6 in: The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments book as well as working on Step 6 in the digital Workbook. I have not yet found a sponsor and have been disappointed when seeking a group through the CIR list of groups. I attend a weekly CIR meeting and that along with the books and my faith life by the grace of God I have made some progress.
    So I have some questions for you. What exactly is this and how am I to interact with it? And please, tell me about you.
