I am glad you are back Jillian, and that your blood work turned out okay. That should be good motivation to kick start your sobriety again.

I definitely needed a plan, and in early days I spent a lot of time reading and posting on this site. I also used mindfulness, and exercise, I made sure to get outdoors each day for a walk (and still do.) I read lots of books about recovery, I spoke with a counselor, and found that walking and mindfulness were much healthier ways to deal with the daily stresses I was having.

You should join the Class Of July of 2021 thread, and also the 24 hour recovery thread, These are both great places to get daily support, and to give yourself a check in for accountability.

If meetings were working for you, then find a different online meeting if you do not feel comfortable going back to the same one. I know the early days are difficult, but you can do this.

Sending lots of love!
