Hey now,

Going to meetings is good, but while there get phone numbers from people in the program to call when the urges become deafening. You'd be surprised how many people will talk with you until it's passed or even come get you and take you out of your own head.

Meeting and befriending new sober acquaintances and being social is an important aspect of recovery. Most people cannot do this alone. Do not be afraid, embarrassed or shy to reach out and call someone. Believe it or not, you would be helping the person you call as much as they will be helping you, so go ahead and build a solid sober network of friends - it's fun and healthy.

Best wishes T
