Thank you all so much - you have eased some of my fears about AA. I think a women's only meeting would be good for me, in addition to a therapist. Anyway I suppose you can't know if you don't try it, right?

Thank you for that reality check - that it's there in all its danger no matter who I tell or what I tell them.

My brain told me at lunch today that I could "just have one drink tonight"....I told it no.

What a place of unease this is right now.

My good friend told me today - "That's something I've learned about life...the scarier the changes the better they are for you!"
