Didn't make it to a meeting, but didn't drink either
I sat in the parking lot and watched as people went in, my anxiety went through the roof. I tried to make myself get out of the car, but just couldn't tonight. I went home and ate dinner and did not drink. I'm a little down that I didn't go into the meeting, but I'm proud of myself for not drinking tonight.

I've done a similar thing; sat outside the meeting venue and listened through the window. That's all my anxiety would allow at the time.
Well done on not drinking, I found that each 'right' thing I did increased my confidence that I would make it

Well, you made it to the parking lot AND you didn't drink. Those are two good things. You got closer to getting into the meeting. Don't get down on yourself. Give it another try. It happens and you are not the only person on here who made it to the parking lot and didn't go in the first time. Hang in there. You didn't drink and that is something.
