Hi all,
Sorry for being MIA! Day 14 for me. Felt awesome last week - sleeping better, tons of energy, super chipper and proud of myself - and sort of crashed this weekend. Just feeling a bit lonely and isolated. My friends are all being very supportive but they all drink, and we live in a big boozy city. Every social event - brunch, dinner, work events, concerts ,watching TV, going to the park, art openings - somehow involves drinking and I feel hyperaware that I'm the only one not drinking. Endured a long dinner on Friday night with a guy I'm seeing (very proud of me for quitting, but a big drinker) and his coworkers all downing sake, tired and bored out of my mind while they got drunk. Didn't drink, though!
I'm a little wary of AA as I'm not crazy about the God stuff, but am thinking of dropping in just to feel less alone in this!
