Frst..
I don't have much advice to give you, as I am the chief procrastinator..
(check out Name That Flaw Thread *Lol*)...happens all the time, and I
have two years, 5 months. But..it does get better..is getting better.
My goodness, it will take me awhile to clear up the wreckage...of my past.
I'm not done yet!
The important thing is to keep going, and not beat yourself up.
A missed appointment, or opportunity...is just that. It is in the past.
Now is now. So, we take a moment, and regroup. And move on.
Hugs, Frst!!

I havent heard about Loomer in quite a while. Another lucky soul makes it back. I spoke with a friend in the program the other day and he was just diagnosed with cirrosis after 9 months clean from heroin. He now looks at it like I do. I dont have another relapse in me. I WILL DIE if I drink again. Scary Sh*t.
I guess I needed that kind of scare to get sober. Makes me shudder.
IO - not beating myself up too much and got busy and active in my recovery so I wouldnt use. Im too scared to drink again but old thinking sure popped up as soon as I realized my mistake. I just wanted to get numb and forget it all. It must be part of my recovery for miracles to happen and a friend from the program called me just after I re-read the date and got me out of my house and prevented me from going into and staying in the black hole I call my head and my thoughts.
Today is a pretty decent day all things concidered and I have my second meeting tonight with my sponsor and god help me, an old sponsor who I had to let go in the past due to his being unavailable for the most part. Honestly, I really like the guy but he just wasnt around much. His wife, who I have actually come to like, was very needy and controlling and would call, like three times in the hour or so that I would meet with him to work on the steps. She would talk about me and he would respond that I am in the other room waiting for him to get off of the phone "again". It made me uncomfortable.
Im going to a meeting that I have been to before that is a step meeting. I dont go to step meetings as a rule. It has been suggested that I need to get out of my comfort zone and do the "work" I need to for my recovery as a whole. I guess it cant be too painful. lol
