Talking

It really IS just "one day at a time" & for me it's been "one hour at a time" some days! I have 8 days today! I think it's the longest # of days strung together that I can remember!

I have been going to meetings every day and quickly found a sponsor to help me get started. The last times I tried, I never reached out for help, what a difference to just get out of my comfort zone & get numbers from people and actually call them.

Even if you are reading this and you aren't sure you are an alcoholic or not...go to a meeting & check it out or just try to string some sober days together. How much thought you put into it, is probably a good indication of how you feel about the "drink". I obsessed over when I was gonna be able to & now am obsessing over how not to! Normal people don't even think twice about alcohol being a problem for them or not. That's just my opinion of course!

Happy Saturday! I'm going bowling with my family...SOBER!
