Glad you had a good experience Minion, let me know how thing progress for you , I have been debating AA meetings or trying one on one counseling.
Kell, sounds like you have a plan in the works, stay strong!
Anewpage, I read failure only occurs when you stop trying to succeed, keep on fighting , on to day 2 for you!

Well done a new page. 24 hours. I am wearing a favourite necklace to remind me I am sober and staying that way. No fell into the trap of thinking too far ahead today and felt down and defeated. I have forgotten how to laugh I think. Anyway I am thinking of going back to a meditation class at a local Buddhist centre.

It's not rehab it's just detox, right?

I was starting to feel the urge this afternoon,
while sitting in my room. I had to get out.
I went to Wally world, and I don't even
like to go there (well maybe to check out
automotive and tools).
It Worked!
I calculated that I have saved well over
$200.00 over the past three weeks by
staying sober.

Day eight here! Feeling a bit antsy but not remotely tempted by the demon booze!
As some of you may have read my dad was rushed into hospital the night before last. He is not in danger it turns out, but visiting hours clash with AA meeting times. So I will have to forgo the meetings for a couple of days at least. I've arranged to meet an AA buddy for a coffee this afternoon by way of compensation, so hopefully that will help.
Onwards!

No chance of early morning meetings, or late night ones mentium?
Not that I'm pushing AA specifically - and I understand your need to be with your dad...
but I also know how good I am at finding reasons not to do things I really should?
remember your own needs too

I do have a good few AA buddies now so other support is also available.
