Head hurts
This has to be my final straw. My head hurts.....called into work......will be alone today so I am going to make a plan. I need to pick the big book back up. I am going to go try my damnedest to go to a meeting. But I do have to work from home today 😟 until then, going to eat some cereal and go back to bed..... Thanks for listening (reading) guys....

Don't "try" to get to a meeting today Jillian, make it your plan to get to a meeting no matter what. You can absolutely do this but you have to put forth the effort and take the appropriate actions. Hope your head feels better soon!

Perhaps we are at different stages, in my case nothing on the face of this earth is more important to Andrew than staying sober. In my case I would use anything to avoid meetings that could help me but mainly work, thing is the work will always be there. I didn't play the tape through, if I stopped my plan I would relapse and that is what happened. to me it's about balance and priorities. For example I walk my dog every morning and evening and sometimes in the afternoon, this morning it's -15, great reason to not go for a walk right? No its not a good reason in my case as I have ton's of cold weather gear and we are heading out shortly, it's for both of us to get exercise but for me being outside I am at peace and I think we could all use a dose of peace.
Kind of the same thing with meetings, I learn something from every one, I take what I think will work for Andrew and leave the rest at the door, I say that because our AV will go to any length to talk us out of getting support and help, if I take home things I do not agree with, my AV will use that as power to not go back, same with online meetings, my research and readings and even these forums. I stay positive and take any power away from it that I can.
All the best

You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

Drink lots, and I do mean LOTS, of water. Personally, I hate the stuff. But my most recent awful hangover was at a friend's house, and he made me down about 40 oz of water within my first waking hour, and it helped.

Thanks everyone for your support. I do feel better now that I've had water, fresh apple juice I juiced myself, and some lunch. I knew yesterday that I should've just toughed it out during my urge, but I didn't. I know where I went wrong, I fought back but my AV won, more than likely because I didn't have plan!

Sage council from Master Jedi Yoda:
“Do or do not… there is no try.”
When you tell yourself and/or someone else that you will try you are in my experience more likely to give up or just stop when the first obstacle shows up.

Seeing how the new Star War's is out , I'll make a Reference. Per Yoda , "There is no try , there is only Do or Do Not". And no , I have not made a meeting myself, but will have to in the near future...

But I agree hydration is key.
