You can nail this Kevin, meetings or not is your call entirely but as long as you take action you will be heading in the right direction.

Really good to see you checking in here this morning Kevin. I'm glad you've got today to rest and maybe focus on your plan a bit. Maybe start by getting any remaining alcohol out of the house so it won't be a distraction.

If you don't already, daily workoutshas been really crucial for me. It boosts my mood and with a little time the outward results are nice too.

Wishing you a most excellent Monday and new beginning.

AA was an essential part of my being able to break the cycle.

Life is much more bright and beautiful without alcohol.

AA and SR going to be my main focus for now. My Aunt and older Cousin visiting me tomorrow. It's such a selfish illness and I have blocked a lot of contact out over the years, They are very supportive though. Also maybe an old Childhood friend I have not seen for nearly 2 years, Always got time for me.

I'am managing to eat some tomato soup just now. I hope it keeps down.

Everyone starts somewhere. Make your start here today and now. You can do it. We are all here to help you through this. Its a great idea to get face to face help as well. Welcome.

Kevin78

Thanks. I had planned to go on Wednesday night to AA, Will push for tomorrow if I don't feel ill still.

Cool man- can never start too early.

Brain still a bit foggy today, Lack of sleep and nightmares, But spent the day sober. My family visited and took me for a meal. I was worried I was too paranoid to go, but it went well, and got a few things off my chest. I tried for a Doctors appointment, but wasn't able to get one. I will try again tomorrow morning. Determined I'm going to AA tomorrow.

All in all, a good day.

Very happy to hear you had a good day Kevin. Things will get better - hope you enjoy the meeting & find it helpful.

Hi Kevin 78, sounds like this isn't your first rodeo, but it also sounds like you know what to do. Best of luck.

That's nice of him to support you.
I have seen many in AA get their life back.
And many of things lost, returned.
Go to AA, get and stay sober.

AA along with church was where I found recovery.

I managed to get to the meeting tonight. I had put this off for the past few years. It was only a small group, but well worth it. It was the daunting thought at first, but definitely be back. ��

Kevin78

I had to revisit my 1st post since I started my recovery. 6 weeks sober now and things looking good. I have been to at least 1 AA meeting a week. (Maybe not enough) My finances have improved and I have managed to pay off a good bit of debt in a short period. I have also sorted out finances with my mortgage provider. My mental health has improved, Although this was hard at 1st. I had issues with anger early on. Boredom an issue at times. I'm just trying to keep focussed and continue to do what i'm doing. Looking forward to my meeting tomorrow night.
