on day 9
I think im going to lurk around some meetings and try to find a good one around here. Also try and work the steps. Day 9 is cool, I've been sick with a sinus infection/pink eye the past week, normally I would feel like sh*t being sick but I actually feel great. Guess being perpetually hungover really did suck haha.

Congrats on day nine....What worked for me was trying some different meetings...Finding one I liked and making it my homegroup....Finding a sponsor to take me through the steps...And putting in the work and taking suggestions....My way didn't work...Their way did.

Congrats on day 9.
Finding a good AA group to regularly attend is what saved me.
Good luck on finding one you like, I think that is key.
I was lucky, the first group I attended was a perfect fit.

Look up step meetings...Study the book...The directions for the steps are in the first 103 pages...Read it till you understand it....Most important...Find someone that has had a spritual awakening as a result of the steps and have them show you how they did it...It works...I did it.

I dont know what it is about this time quiting. I just feel different about it. The moments I want to drink are more intense yea "you are doing better than you ever have just have a beer theres no problem look at you!" but then the moments where i feel good about the decision i feel like, its a new life going on and I'm actually done.

I know until I had no doubt I was done with drinking....I never had any success with staying stopped. I don't recommend taking it as far as I did....But if you think you still have some drinking in you....You'll probably drink.

I just assumed if you have moments that you are actually done...You'd have moments that you aren't...If I misunderstood that....My bad.
