First Post...

But I just wanted to say that I was in the same boat only 7 days ago. Although I am still sick, and honestly just on the fragile VERGE of the BEGINNING of recovery, it is absolutely amazing what just 7 days will do for you. I called an AA hotline, I was picked up by a man I'd never seen and taken to a meeting. Since then I've gone to that very same meeting, among others, every single day this week. Whether I like the meetings or not is no longer a factor for me. Because what I DO know for sure is that I haven't had a drink in a week. Every single person in those rooms loves you already, and you're not even there yet...

That is what worked for me in this the very beginning of what could (and should) be my recovery. It's the longest I've been sober in 10 years. I hope it helps you too!
