This site is great and when I was sober I looked forward to ready peoples encouragement and stories, but my AV took over and it was over. So back on the wagon I go and perhaps take in an AA meeting.
Yeah, it's the same for me - each time is worse. I'm back on day 4 and finally starting to realise that it's true about alcoholism being a progressive disease. This time I will go to any lengths to stay sober. Going to an AA meeting sounds like a great idea. It all starts with just going to that first meeting. What's the worse that can happen? I'm extremely socially anxious but when I walked into my first meeting, not only did my head not explode but I found a bunch of people I could relate to.
I like spending time alone but I now know I never have to be lonely again.
