Perfect........
I am sure you are facing a lot of fear right now. We all did, but I too became displaced from a career in the height of my drinking daze.
If I knew then what I know now, I'll tell me to get 30 days under my belt with AA before I came out to anyone about anything. You're emotions are about to be very raw and sometimes we may dump our stuff on others which is not fair. They have their own stuff.
Maybe at least consider a week worth of meetings - you'll make contacts/friends in rooms quickly. Coffee, lunch etc - work toward getting a sponsor.
It did not take long and I found a great peace I did not believe was there for me. I'm not talking about all is great, but a serenity with the world around me (us).
Welcome friend,
Glad you're here!!
