whether you do AA or not, 'one day at a time' is a hugely helpful mindset. the rest of your life will follow in time.
I have not gone to AA as yet and I am not sure if it is the right fit for me. I did go once a few years ago and didn't feel at ease with the whole thing. Wondering whether I should give it another go. I have made an appointment with a psychotherapist this weekend to discuss my situation with them and my partner, family and friends are all very supportive. I am also finding this space very helpful and am encouraged by the stories of success and reminded that I am not alone in this. One day at a time sounds like a good mantra to follow!
