Day 4
I started a Chem Dependency outpatient program. This decision seemed so obvious when I was hung over and sick and my friend had just drunk himself to death. Now I haven't had a drink in a few days. It's dawning on me that I have backed myself into a corner. I feel that old wariness of social activities. I've been to 2 meetings. Life ring and AA. They were ok. I am NOT reading that stupid big book again. The meetings are ok though when people aren't depressing. I want to dance on a rainbow not be cynical. A few things I've heard in meetings that I wanna try 1. Hit my knees and pray every day. 2. Meditation can be taking 6 breaths. 3. If I'm depressed think the opposite. 4. Get your mojo back.
On a different note If I had to choose a higher power it would be David Bowie. WWDBD.

Excellent choice of HP
You can do it.
I used to live in Oakland too so know the brew pub scene et al.
Plenty to do there alcohol-free though--find some of that fun stuff
and enjoy recovery as well as work at it Pressme. . .

I think it's really common to start to feel better and then wonder if you ovverreacted.
In my experience my initial reaction was the right one.
Don't let your AV talk you out of getting help
