Bet there is another meeting you can go to instead. I'd recommend checking that option out. Seems like you haven't really accepted that alcohol doesn't SOLVE problems. It CAUSES problems, but in a delay switch - just like a time bomb. The way to solve problems (and not add to them) is by learning how to deal with life on life's terms, calmly and rationally. This comes with recovery.
Have you made a plan?
If not, that would be a good place to start.
If you have, then think about the things that you were most resistant to adding because you really, really didn't like that idea, and challenge yourself. I say this because often the ideas that will work are the ones our AVs fight the hardest. If your AV had a panic-attack at an idea, it'll likely be a winner.
