Congratulations on not drinking yesterday.The one day at a time thing is really the only way to go at this old dog of alcoholism. Therefore you can say to yourself, that you have the concept of not drinking pretty well figured out. Now as to the meeting attendance, I found that I really have only needed to attend meetings when I didn’t want to and when I didn’t have the time.

In my world staying sober and attending meetings have always gone hand in hand. Sobriety has brought me a much more involved schedule, with children who wanted my time, customers who want to buy things, and on top of all that just a whole bunch of people who want me to attend functions that they invited their friends to attend.

Drinking seemed to be the activity that left me with all sorts of "free time!" If you can’t find time for meetings then you might want to ask yourself the same question I had to finally ask myself, “Was there ever a time when I couldn’t find time to drink?”
