So I finally shorted my s#*% out and went to a meeting. I was nervous!!!! It was okay. Sat in the back with my head down and listened. Mum has got me a copy of the big book?? So I pick that up today. I consciously made the decision to go awol these last couple of weeks and its been crap and I've been an idiot. Hence the meeting and book. Even neglected my counselor. All bad decisions. I think I need to concentrate solely on getting well and nothing else . Anyways, not feeling like myself at the moment so that's all I got to say

Hang in there! Take it easy and give yourself lots of love. It's really hard and I find I have to be very diligent about my lifestyle. I've relapsed since committing to change. It's the nature of the beast and this strong mental component.

Just one suggestion. The next time you go to a meeting, let people know you are new. This typically has a way of changing the complexion of the meeting to one more suited to a new person.

It takes a great deal of courage to attend that first meeting. I'm glad you could find enough of it to walk through that door.

All the best to you.

I'm glad you decided to take action and I hope you continue to read and to post.

Hope to see you around some more when you feel up to it. It can better, you just got to quit the game to win.

I'm glad you're getting back into action animalnurse and it's great you hit a meeting - I found once I got my recovery on track, everything else tended to follow and fall into place too.

You just have to get started, AN. That's the hard part. Glad to see things are (beginning) to get better.

Thanks for coming back! It takes a very strong person to look at themselves and see there needs to be a change!!!
Have a happy day!

When I finally surrendered to my escape mechanism that hadn't worked for years my life started to get better as a result of me wanting it to. I became very active in the fellowship and went to many meetings because I didn't want anymore pain as the result of drinking. Many years later I have absolutely no regrets.

BE WELL
