Appointment Scheduled and Found Two Possible Meetings

Okay, I took that first step to get help outside of this forum and myself. My appointment is at 11, and I need to be there at 10:30 to do s computer questionnaire. I have also found a 12 and 12:30 meeting for women. It says they are closed meetings for alcoholics, and those wanting to stop drinking, I hope I am allowed to just attend.

I am a little nervous about the doctor appointment, actually, embarrassed. I need to let to of that and not worry about being judged.

I am also planning on competing in a maniac race tomorrow with my sister in law, I was going to skip it because I figured, I would need to be up too early on a Saturday to drive there, but since I will NOT be drinking tonight, this wont be a problem. It is an adventure race that I did not train the way I should have (yes, I have alcohol to thank for that as well.) I figure even if I am the last one to finish that is okay. It will also give me time to have fun in a healthy way, and I think I may share my day today with her as we walk, run, and attempt to get over obstacles. The more I think about it the obstacles are kind of symbolic with where I am in my life right now.

I am going to head out now and go to the bookstore before my appointment. I will let all of you know later how things went at the doctor and at my first meeting. If anyone knows a little more s out the closed meeting I would appreciate the info.

Thanks again!!!!

closed meeting just means it's only open to alcoholics and those who have a desire to stop drinking, whether they identify themselves as alcoholics or not.

go to the meeting. you will be welcomed.

Good for you Delilah! It's not easy to take those first actions steps, but you'll be so glad you did. Go easy on yourself tomorrow - just enjoy the race and don't push too hard. You're doing great!
