I also met a really friendly woman, and we share a similar struggle of being sober with drinking husbands, so we have that in common.
The other change I made today is I gave my two week notice at my job. I really don't need the job right now, and I figured I can now use this time to devote to recovery, and this change will also decrease the stress in my life right now. So in a way I am creating my "own rehab" without formally going to one. I can focus on myself right now, exercise, meetings, the steps, etc.
You’ll attract all sorts of advice on this SR board; some of it will be projection. You haven’t asked for advice, but advice sometimes from well- meaning alcoholics in recovery is like trying to get a drink from a fire hose.
I’ve been attending AA meetings for 50 years, but AA meetings were not my program of recovery. The suggested program of recovery is the 12 Steps. There are AA meetings that study the dynamics of the 12 Steps from the textbook Alcoholics Anonymous and from a text called the 12 steps and 12 traditions (12x12).
See Chapter 5, “HOW IT WORKS, Page 59 in the textbook Alcoholics Anonymous, it will tell you what the AA program is.
It sounds like you’re off to a great start, welcome!
