Thanks for the support, there.
Well, I mean I am too old to adopt, even if I got sober, and that often makes me sad.
I'm not sure I'm able to just table the rest, as I quit drinking first...I think it will happen as a kind of package. I do see how stopping drinking 'first' makes things easier, certainly, but one can't just put their feelings and lives on hold, so that as I try to stop, the very motivation to stay stopped comes from looking at these issues, if that makes sense.
I stayed in last night, got a lot of sleep today, though feel kinda blah...not drinking, but just feeling sorta empty.
I'm still considering how to start a non-step based support group, in real life...I think I may have to just try and do it myself, here. Has anyone else ever tried this? I feel like having a group to share with is very helpful, just not one that has to have everything done a certain way...that part was very harmful.
