Hi I'm just over 6 months sober but it feels like an emotional rollercoaster at the moment. I don't want to drink nor feel like a drink............but feeling bit down. Tonight I planned to go to a meeting. My husband had previously decided that he wouldn't drink at home with the kids there if I was out and he fancied a drink tonight! Had one last and the night before. Then my youngest was in tears as didn't want me to go out.
My meetings are really important to me but in the end I stayed in.
Now feeling fustrated.

xa-speakers.org take a listen to a speaker meeting!

aa online chatroom has scheduled meetings. It's not quite the same as in person support, but it works!

Keep working on your relationship with your higher power!! That is what truly helps us when a meeting isn't available. And the children are only young once.....I'd give anything to be with my son at the age of 6 and on again!

Love & hugs,

Never underestimate the power that is higher than yourself, it's what binds all living things. I know when I need a meeting and I can't make it to one, I like to say the serenity prayer. I ask myself what it is that is troubling me, is it in my control to do something about it? If not, I hand that trouble over to my higher power and let the serenity seep back into my being.
