I think we become a little bit stronger every time we face a difficult time with a sober mind. Doesn't feel like it sometimes, but when we emerge at the end of it, our sober muscles are that much stronger. You are doing fantastic, Nuu and brighter days are ahead.
It's so wonderful that you went to such lengths to attend that meeting, it shows how willing you are to do whatever it takes. And forgive yourself for the little "chow-down", it's a heck of a lot better than cracking open a bottle! I currently have two bowls of candy, one bowl of nuts, and a bag of popcorn twists on the counter beside me (all half-empty)!
