Support is a huge part of my recovery. I get that through SR, a therapist I see bi-weekly, a lot of reading on recovery and a few discussions with the benevolent energy I refer to as God or sometimes Universe. On my first day of not drinking I sat down and made a list of all the things I could do INSTEAD of drinking should the urge be unbearable...things like 'posting on SR BEFORE picking up, going for a run or walk or going to an AA meeting". So far, I haven't had to go much further down the list than SR and going for a walk : )
