Good for you for getting rid of the tincture...now flush the pills, sweetie...all of them. It's the addict, in you, telling you you need that stuff. Tell the addict to shut the f* up!

Go to the meeting with the attitude of finding one thing you can relate to. Even if it's just one sentence someone says..I bet you hear it. When we go into something with doubt that it will help us, we usually don't get much out of it. But if we go in, with the thought that we will find SOMETHING to help us, we can find it.

I think it has a lot to do with attitude. I know your anti-d hasn't kicked in, and you're still feeling down, so this is hard. This is where "fake it 'til you make it' kicks in, I guess. Pretend, for that one hour meeting, that you are enthusiastic, and this is a place you are going to get something out of.

I've been to meetings I didn't really like, and I had to think about them to find something I did like...I always found it, even if it was a minor thing.

Hang in there, sweetie.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy
