Then she said to go to the womens meeting tonight that started at 5:30. I said I couldn't get there till 6:00 because of my job. She said So what. I said I'll be late, she said so what? I said every one will stare at me, she said so what. The one of the guys said. Who cares if you walk in at the last 5 minutes. YOu do this for you. Haven't you figured that out yet. So, I'm gonna go in late tonight. I'll feel stupid, but that's what she said to do. I liked her. I did read Chapter 5. I've read it before and had highlights in it. It depressed me cause it showed me how I failed with all my highlights the last time, but I'm still gonna do it. I liked her 25 years sober. She was neat. |
way to go, LegalLady! Women's meetings are a great place to listen to women in sobriety. You might make a connection with someone who can sponsor you.
You mentioned yesterday that if you drink you are going to die. It, going to any length to NOT drink, sounds very much like a priority to me. I'd reconsider putting work ahead of sobriety, or relationships, or social commitments or anything else for that matter, if it were me.
I needed to do that for my own life. Just a suggestion.
