I want to add that therapy is helping me a lot. Also, I really want to start attending AA meetings again as well. It would be nice to make friends who understand what it's like with addiction. SR has helped me so much and I am so glad I found this website. It might sound silly but I have anxiety sometimes about commenting on other peoples thread and I'll work on that. I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing. If I want to make friends to go to coffee with or things like that then I will definitely have to work on social anxiety issues. When I went to the AA meetings, it was so hard to say my name and that I was an alcoholic. It wasn't because I was ashamed but I have a hard time speaking in public which I know a lot of other people can relate to that.
