Hi Fee11,
I have 8 days.
My day job(s) is/are enormously stressful and i'm often "spent" by the time i get to a meeting -- brain fatigue -- barely capable of forming sentences. Also feeling very close to an anxiety attack -- jittery and paranoid. (part of why i used to pick up)
Others on here found NA meetings more to their liking. NA welcomed me with open arms -- literally. I felt no pressure. I did
NOT feel like guys with 3 years+ were ganging up on me -- NOT at all. Very comfortable, very encouraging. Very easy relate to what others shared. I was anxious to reciprocate. I'll not hesitate to return.
So over here in my area, my alcoholic self is liking NA meetings at the moment.
Perhaps your area might be similar. I'm not sure. Maybe worth considering.
best of luck to you
