Hey all,
So a woman from a meeting last night told me about a good one tonight that I had never been to. When I got to the address, via my GPS, there was a store there...no meeting. So I called her but she didn't pick up. Frustrated because I was tired I pulled over and looked in the meeting book for something else. I found one in a town right next to me that I never realized was there. So I went. And it was such a great meeting! I met a couple of really great people. One of whom shared a very similar experience about what happened to me last week (my relapse and ending up in the hospital). He had advice about my upcoming court date and assured me that if we all stick together and work hard on our recovery, we will get better. I know it sounds simple but the people who spoke in the meeting tonight and after with me resounded so much of the feelings I have been going through. I left that meeting feeling more hopeful than I have in a year. And that's no joke. Talking with my sponser after, she reminded me to thank my higher power tonight for leading me there. And I will surely be doing that before bed. I wasn't sure if my HP was listening to me (or if there was even one) but after surviving driving drunk last week AND overdosing, I feel something inside me is different now. One day at a time. Just so thankful. Hope everyone is doing well, so great to be back here, clear headed and optimistic
