Struggling
Hi all. So a bit of a test in early sobriety... as most u probably know i am a truck driver. Ive been on a kind of long trip and it just got longer. I will be stuck sitting with my thoughts gor the next 3 days in san antonio tx. I called AA central office and theres a few meetings around but not many. Sorta freaking a bit b/c mentally i have not been doing perticulary well. I feel pretty depressed about my life in general and sitting in this coffin for 3 days is gonna be very taxing.. thanks for reading
You're not shackled to not drinking, you're free from drinking

Hey gonzo, 3 days in san Antonio does sound like hell. But you'll get thru it. Wasn't the Alamo there? Maybe you could go see that as something to do.

Maybe a lot are too far?? San Antonio is a big area - should be a lot of drunks! Find one other and a coffee pot.......
And of course keep posting here, you are not alone friend!

I agree with this sentiment........
When I need a kick start I meditate on the universal truths in the prayer of St. Francis
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.
There's a saying in the rooms - if you want it out, shout it out - no one can read your mind. If you have something to say , say at the meeting and type it out here!!
This was / still is a hard lesson for some of us to learn........

I read today on a member old post - We all have pain. Pain is universal. Suffering is not - it's a choice.
