One night I was feeling a little restless, irritable and discontented and had thoughts of drinking. I couldn't envision myself picking up the phone and calling an AA friend saying - hey, I am thinking about drinking. It seemed implausible to me - part ego, part would anyone really care?
Instead I just started texting 4-5 folks from AA. How are you? Hope your doing well!> one or two I sent a joke. An hour went by with several ongoing "conversations". I made it through the urge/thought without even bringing up the fact I might drink.
I prayed, meditated and remembered the tools in my kit. I got through it - and it passed.
Next time, you PM me or post here, friend = open 24.7
