Ps. One of the benefits of sobriety is that you are a way better dog mom!
My pup was attacked by another dog in the park last summer, & I was so grateful that I was sober & could drive him to the emergency vet!
One of the great gifts of sobriety is that I know I'm ready to deal with anything.
I do not always feel completely comfortable at AA meetings. I learned that there are some that are more right for me than others. In the beginning, I went to meetings here (in a new city for me) with the intention of finding the right ones for me, rather than the intention of liking every one. That made the process more interesting for me & took a lot of the pressure off.
