You know this sounds crazy but I did it for a friend once. I mean when people need counselors it's usually not a time in their lives when making a million phone calls works out so well. So I did the dirty work of finding my friend her therapist (actually the secretary in my office who was in a terrible depression at the time). I understand she stopped seeing that one after a year or so and got a new one, but it was helpful for her to just have that place to land easily when it was too hard. I don't know if you have anyone you could ask to do that small but horrendous task?

There are so many things to do out there that don't involve booze! Think about the places you avoided because they didn't have booze. The little restaurants. Bookstores. Movies. Parks. AA meetings! Museums! Roller skating rinks. That's just what flew out of my head now, but check around here because I believe that the mods have a list of things you can do with yourself and others that don't involve booze. I learned how to crochet! And discovered the craft store has classes! The world is actually really cool and booze kind of isn't. Trust me you will see this.

Congrats on Day 11!
