I find it overwhelming to even think about not drinking today or tomorrow or this coming weekend. How can someone make it for 24 years? It actually kind of scared me. I think I had the wrong reaction.
Well today is day 4. I am afraid to drink again because I do not ever want to have to stop again but I am also afraid to think about not drinking. Once again I feel like I am writing something that makes no sense.
I find it sorta weird when people point out how hard it is for them to get to meetings. I guess in some areas there are not that many. Small towns I assume. Here in Richmond there are so many there is a website to organize them all.

There are 58 meetings today. There is one close to my house that no lie, has over 300 people attend. They have a website and they record the speaker meetings and post them online (tons of them). Sometimes when I feel down I'll listen to them.
On a side note if you'd like to listen to them you can find them here...
