Many places have meetings at various times.
I love the early a.m. ones to begin my day in recovery.


Hi Rebecca! Welcome back!

Hey Everyone, it's great to be back. This really helps. I hope that allis well. I've spent so much time thinking I could change my drinking havits. I talk myself into drinking thinking I can just have 1 or 2,, but always have more. I've done this over and over. That's one more reason that I have to do it now. I've read all kinds of books, etc. on moderation. I've honestly tried, and failed over and over. So..Sober works. Just got to hang in there. Sober feels best, sober feels good.
hugs, Rebecca

The third reason, is embarrassment. Seeing people that may know me, time...I am diovrced with a child and work full time..>>

Wait. You're concerned that a room full of once former, falling down drunks, will know you're an alcoholic?????

Is that correct?

It seems that drinking is pretty much going against your values.

And it will continue to do so, it will continue to scratch away at who you are.

Thats all I know. When I stopped I suddenly changed inside: I realised I could not, and would not, do it to myself anymore.

Thats all I know really, sadly we quit when we want to quit. Desiring a sober life, instead of a drunk one.

I would push the date to the 2nd Jan, cause I can't even imagine that I would be able to stop drinking at 12:00pm once I had been drinking. Then there may be a reason to push that date out a few more days, maybe a get together with some one else .... That would have been my alcoholic thoughts about the date to quit.

Today is a good day to do anything that you have been thinking about doing. Your life, your choice, your time ... I hate that I wasted so much time in my life already, I am not wasting any more.

You can do it today

Play safe
