I have only been to one meeting in the past week. I've found that for me, this just simply isnt enough. Every time I skip out on meetings for longer than a few days, my mind starts wandering into bad places. I start to feel distance from all of the new wonderful things in my life and eventually I start to fantasize about drinking.

I've recognized this pattern in my past and I've finally just come to the conclusions that I just HAVE to go to atleast 3 meetings a week. I'm just too early in my recovery to be skipping out on meetings.

I'm curious how meeting attendence has worked for everyone else here. How many did you attend in early sobriety? How many now?
