help welcome

I'm not yet a week sober, going to meetings daily, trying to break down my days to stay sober while preparing for treatment a month from now. i have the flu and took the day of work.. Now it's all I can do to not drink. I don't know if it's just that I'm home and not busy but I really want to drink ... There isn't a meeting in my town
until tonight, I called the few numbers I have but haven't reached anybody... Any suggestions?? Thanks.

Get Moving!

Go see a movie.
When that one is done, go to the bathroom and then sneak into another. Make a day out of it if you have to but get out of the house. I would also encourage you to start a journal. Writing down your thoughts helps tremendously.

Most importantly, remember that the most day to stay sober is today, and today only.

Good luck and God Bless

Hi. It's good to see your trying. At the beginning I was told "don't drink even if your azz falls off" and "if I don't pick up the first drink I won't have to get sober AGAIN." I've done a fair amount of traveling since I got sober and if I was in your shoes today I'd call a local AA phone # and explain your situation and I'm sure a personal contact will be forthcoming. Hang in there, even calling a suicide prevention hotline might put you in contact with a program person. BE WELL
