Yesterday was a little tough, but I rode out a strong urge to drink that lasted most of the afternoon. Posting in the newcomers forum here really helped. Everyone is so kind and supportive and encouraged me right away! So happy this morning that I didn’t drink!
I have a list of numbers from a women’s AA meeting I went to but haven’t used it yet. I feel that once I call someone it’s going to be more of a commitment to AA. Just not positive I want or even need that path but I’m thinking about it..
This spoke to me... I had a really strong urge this afternoon, being Friday and all... I thought about going to the store but I drove by it instead. Decided to come home, eat something and drink multiple glasses of water to fill me up. Then the urge dissipated. I was so relieved! I will be going to bed with a clear head again tonight. Grateful. Thnx for your post.
You might want to check out ACA meetings... I enjoyed them when I went.
