Hey all, just me checking-in. Had a bad weekend (in case anyone missed that part)- scroll back and you'll see my post(s).
Had a not bad Group meeting this morning. Only 2 others were there.. that was odd.
Today we just talked about how our weekend went and how we coped.
'Steven' worked on his conservatory. 'James' went over to St James Park (it's a really nice park in Central London).
Me.. well see above.
One thing that bugged me in the meeting was how the guy who took the meeting didn't introduce himself to those that were newbies.. that annoyed me, because it would've helped to make us feel at ease with him (if you see what I mean?).

Anyway.. Rebecca- Real sorry that you're having a hard time at the moment.. try to remember why you stopped drinking in the first place..do you have any coping strategies for times like this? Read a book, go for a walk, meditate, phone a good friend, do some art, etc.? I remember someone posted up some great ideas for what to do in situations like this-and Carol made it a 'Sticky'.
Just because you relapsed (which many people have done here)- does not make you bad- pick yourself up and focus on the present, not the past.. I know it's not always easy, life isn't, but just remember we are only human after all, and we carry on with whatever we have to do to get us through... take care then and I hope that at least one thing I've said might help..
