Good on ya, for coming here, grabbing coffee and resisting the evil AV who wants nothing more than to destroy you.

There is a lot to do...
Meeting
SR - I personally like the relapse stories along with the 1 year and above. The relapse help me realize what I don't want to feel like and the 1 year plus to what I have to look forward too!!!

Now I have no more cigarettes and have to go back to the store. I hope i can be strong enough.

As soon as I walk into the gas station its a full isle of booze. All the stores in my town sell booze. Theres tons and tons of bars also. I just want to be able to walk into the store buy my cigarettes and leave. Not buy a half pint, 24 oz can of beer, and smokes.. but I know without my smokes I surely wont make it the night.

Don't drink. You know where it will end up and you don't want to go there. Get your smokes and go home - without alcohol.

I live in MN, USA and we have no alcohol in our gas stations, grocery stores. We have to go to a liquor store which closes at 9 or 10.. I can't remember but it's nice, while I was drinking I hated it but I'm thankful now

You can do it!!! Smokes, coffee, maybe a donut and done!!

Eat a bit of sugar instead. Can you watch a bit of Netflix? The Glitch is pretty good - Mindhunter, too -
