"Sew...My first meeting at the addiction center was scheduled for tonight. Well my counselor calls and says "I'll be there tonight, but then I'll be away for the next 2 weeks. Maybe you should wait till the 25'th to start. I says "OK" and immediately thought "Hey I can drink for another couple of weeks before I start."[COLOR="SeaGreen"]
Had those thoughts too.
Luckily, a friend of mine slapped some sense into me and demanded that I either go to an AA meeting tonight or come home and post in this forum for help. I ended up going to the addiction center and told the counsler I'd really like to start tonight.
Just earlier in the day I was telling the same friend that this hasn't been as difficult as I'd expected so far. Yet, a few hours later, I very nearly blew it. Me too, but sober again today.But tonight I'm going to bed one week sober for the first time since I can't even begin to remember when.
You guys are right when you talk about it being a day by day battle. I won the battle for today, with a little help. We'll see what tomorrow brings..."
You are doing great, "one day at a time"
