Hang tough AW!! Lots of water and try some Gatorade or something with electrolytes and some Vitamin B's and C's to get you through work. Your body is depleted. Have you eaten anything???

One minute at a time friend! Don't future trip yourself into a panic attack.

Having a plan though is good. Don't for a minute be afraid or embarrassed to call for a ride. Hell, they do that everyday and have seen it all. That is the point of it all. Get to those meetings! You don't have to talk or do anything. Just be there unless/until you can start engaging. Baby steps, but steps in the right direction!!!

don't be ashamed to let AA people know you've relapsed. you're not the first and you won't be the last. we're just happy when someone whose relapsed gets back in the saddle. i have a friend whose been out of the program for almost 3 months now. i text her every now and then. she's been to jail, back to rehab, got kicked out by her husband and is couch surfing and doesn't know where she's going to sleep from night to night. i wish she'd just come back. i don't care about her drama. i just want my friend back amongst people who are sober and care. get back to the people who care about you.

are there AA groups around where you live? i had to move from my homegroup too but i found a new one and the people there are really lovely. if you've moved forward physically it's time to move forward mentally and find a group you can go to now.

Thanx; for the most part my family yea .. I say for the most part b\c I have kept this kinda tight lipped as not to worry most of them .. As for my friends back home; nahh they are still in denial for the most part .. Not even sure about meetings near me; I do not like meeting people and have very bad anxiety; even when sober ...
