That's a difficult question to answer....
It was almost as if I had an epiphany... I hit a VERY low point... when my son was picked up by his dad at 10 in the morning and I was drunk off my ass....
And the previous week I had binged like never before...
I got scared... for my health... my safety... my child's safety...
I just didn't know how much longer I'd survive going the way I was...
So I went to an AA meeting.... sick as a dog... miserable physically... and terrified...
And I just kept going back to those meetings whenever I possibly could... I did that for a good solid two weeks...
Admittedly, I've not gone the last couple of weeks... for one reason or another... but that first two weeks were the hardest for me... and AA got me through it....
I guess the hard part is just going to be maintaining from here on....
I really need to get back to those meetings...
Above all else, though, I must admit, the only reason I'm sober today is because I prayed desperately for God to deliver me........ and well... he did..
Thanks everybody so much for your support...
This feeling is to die for.....
(but I get to keep on livin'!!!)

Good to hear auxilio, I hope your recovery is successful as it continues.

) Have you made it back to your meetings yet?

Make sure you keep doing what made you feel better in the first place. I always had a knack for when things started to get better, I would pick up again. Keep your recovery strong. Congratulations on 33 days!
