7 day's

Well here i am still without any alcohol, plus the desire to drink is not there, YET ... I found out that the NA meetings are a big help to me along with AA,
Where i live we do not have AA meetings everyday ,so to fill in the blank i went to NA which was the same except the drug of choice, there are some people with dual addictions, but it is a relief to have filled the void in day's when we do not have any AA here.
I suggest to anyone who can't make AA meetings to go to NA..
Anyway i am doing good , but finding it hard to stay in the moment, that one day at a time thingy is a bi#$@...

You did an excellent job at coming up with a solution to the lack of daily AA meetings where you live. Way to go!

I am glad to see you posting here.

Yes, the one day at a time thing is difficult at first but with time it becomes a blessing. Keep up the good work.

Ashville is a great great great town. I can't say enough good things about it.

I went to the Bella Cher(??) festival once there..

I was super-impressed with the area and the people and the food..

I hope to get there again someday soon. Maybe move into that Biltmore house

Great job!

Here's a secret -- that one day at a time thing is still tough some days! You will get better with practice!
