I was the same way, Kaily - I never went out and did/accomplished anything, and with all that time I was home, all I did was drink. Didn't clean or cook, etc.

The freedom that comes with being able to not only honor commitments, but also do last-minute things for and with people is a wonderful feeling. Knowing you can up and leave, be able to drive and not be resentful because it cuts into your drinking time, feels better than alcohol by far.

Some of the work has to be done by you. Right now you believe you "can't" recover. You have to believe you can. AA is a tool, but attending meetings by itself won't do a thing. Don't give up on yourself!
