You do not
have to sit there sober and alone. There are AA meetings everywhere. Even if you do not want to attend AA you still do not have to sit there. That is a choice, if you choose to make it. I am sure there are other things you can do.
I was watching a movie the other day and at the beginning the kid says something that hit me right between the eyes. I wrote it down so I will never forget it.
"Nothing is going to stop me, not even me". When I let my fear dictate my choices then I am only hurting myself. Sometimes, I have to get the hell out of the way.
