Two weeks
Made it through two weeks and I am feeling pretty darn great, overall. I went to my second meeting last night and met some new people ... the meeting itself was about tradition 7 so I really didn't have much to say LOL. After the meeting one of them commented that I looked happy ... sitting on the other side of the table and smiling, laughing at funny comments. I remember my last attempt at AA many years ago and I was definitely not smiling and laughing ... I was thinking I was in the wrong place and I was so uncomfortable and couldn't wait to get out of there (and ultimately, to drink again). Now what I feel in that room is contentment and acceptance ... different mindset going in, I suppose. Although the topic was not something that I have even thought about (or care about at this point), I DID get a lot out of it, the fellowship, the understanding, the acceptance.
I read about people experiencing triggers at work, and I have certainly had my share of them this week. When I get that nasty whisper in my ear that perhaps a drink would help, I try to flip that switch ... I don't DO that anymore. If I still obsess about it, I decide that perhaps a meeting is a better idea
. And of course I log on to SR every chance I get. I've put in a lot of hard work to make 2 weeks, but I would not have done it without support
