How about getting to a meeting in addition to calling your sponsor? Get to the meeting early and stay late to talk to some fellow alcoholics. If there's a newbie there, talk to them and welcome them. Get out of your head without alcohol. We have many options. Meetings, talking to other alcoholics, reading the Big Book, posting and reading here just to name a few. This sounds silly, but do you need a snack or some water? We tend to forget that those things can effect our mood. You don't need booze, you need to shift your focus.
