Did anyone else feel like drinking after meetings/sessions about quitting drinking?
oh yes; every meeting for the first few months made me feel like drinking. i figured it was a result of the intense hour-long focus that did it.
but it didn't escalate my drinking, because it couldn't make me drink, though it could make me want to.i went to the meetings because i didn't want to drink
sounds screwy, i know. so i just sat there with the "want/need/gottadrink" and didn't drink and learned how to be okay no matter what comes up and what feelings i have.
that's what i tried instead. and it worked.
