Thanks again everyone! Here's what I have planned this time around - would love your thoughts:
- Going to meetings as often as I can. I am traveling for work today and I still found one out of town. I have a friend in AA who I plan on talking to, just need a little more time until I feel less vulnerable.
- Posting on here and keeping a record of how this process is going (thanks sugarbear!)
- I have already told the people closest to me that I have a drinking problem and need to get completely sober. This was a a tough nut to crack given the shame, guilt etc.
- Focusing on meaningful pursuits: reading, writing, museums, nature, volunteering, my dog etc.
- Church with my mom
