Hi everyone,

Due to snow, snow and more snow, the coffee meeting I had set up with the women I met in AA was canceled over the weekend. I did go back to AA this morning. I like the energy there and I know people can be and actually are now much happier without alcohol in their lives. So, why is it so difficult for me to let go? I feel like I am struggling and clinging to those couple of glasses of wine. But I am out of alcohol now and it is a long drive to get more so I am not going to. At least not today. I am trying to NOT think beyond today because I get really anxious.

Anyway, that is where I am. I read most of the AA Big Book over the weekend. We were snowed in so I had plenty of time. I find the snow oppressive and depressing.

I keep hoping that by keeping going to the meetings, meeting people, reading and trying I will be able to let go of the obsession. I hope so.

Old habits die hard. Someone once told me that when you quit drinking, it is like losing your best friend. Something that you are so used to, and has been a part of your life for so long, is hard to let go of. Keep at it though, and that feeling will start to disappear!
