I totally forgot about HALT, hungry, angry,lonely and tired. I realized that I am suffering from all four today. Grabbed a NA with lunch, after dancing around the living room blasting tunes for a while. I know, drinking an NA at lunch is totally alcoholic behavior, but it has saved my bacon more than once. I have violated virtually every recovery maxim during this, my first recovery attempt. I drink the occasional NA (rum and wine were my go to drinks) have never been to an AA meeting, smoke a little at concerts and live in a house with enough booze to get everyone on this Board smashed. And yet somehow, here I am, almost five months booze free. Still sober. Thanks to all of you here at Sober Recovery and especially all of my fellow April co-horts!
