Having Coffee then ....

Going to shower, walk to Starbucks, & then most likely a meeting :-P As much as I know they are not my thing, it is helping me w\the "people" thing ..... Hope everyone is doing well..

Sounds like a good plan. A time may come when meetings are exactly your thing and you look forward to going.
AA refreshes my soul.

Right on. See this is the way I should be starting my day. But im kinda "out of it." For right now.

I need these reminders that rooms full of people are out there waiting to offer help and advice. Thanks!

They're not really my thing either, but neither are dentist offices. Take what you need and leave the rest.

good start for one wishing to stay sober today

I also enjoy an early meeting after a Starbucks boost with a stone

That sounds like a good plan AW. I think being proactive is really important in recovery. I hope you have a good day.

I've said this before but going to a meeting for me in and of itself won't keep me sober. But talking to the people before and after, getting numbers and building friendships do help keep me sober. I can't do this alone. You're gonna need people in your corner. It's ok to go to meetings just work on the "people thing."

Sounds like my plan! I used to loath AA meetings and now I love them. I actually have friends again.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
