Hello again,
Thank you all for the kind wishes, advice, and suggestions.
I have taken the advice on another thread and power read (I read very slow) through The Easy Way to Stop Drinking. I can see why this book might be unpopular and controversial, however, I can say that it, along with the experiences this past weekend, have helped with destroying any desire I had to drink.
That being said, I am still actively looking into counseling or AA in my area. I go back and forth between the 2 because I'm normally a shy, introverted person. I also have a lot of trouble opening up.
Just wanted to provide a quick update. I know that I am only on day 5 but hey, it's day 5!
Thanks again everyone! Have a great, clean day!
