Biting the bullet
 

Hello again,

So I have decided that tonight is the night. I am going to my first meeting. I haven't had a drink in 5 days now. Which to be fair isn't unusual but it's the weekend now and my weakest time. You know the feeling, I've worked hard this week and deserve it and all that b******t. I've started reading the big book and there's a lot in there that makes lot of sense.

All i know for sure is that I will never drink again. I also know that I can't do it on own. I have grown up with booze, everyone around me drinks to excess. So if I'm to get through this I need to surround myself with people that no longer do but who understand what I have been through and am going through.

Thanks for listening.

I think it's great you're going to a meeting. Let us know how you get on.

I went to my first AA meeting today and it was the best thing I could ever have done. You are not alone and the support was amazing :)

Good stuff :c014:

just don't drink today!

Keep moving forward!!!!

I have 2 hours to the meeting and my stomach is churning like mad!

Scared isn't the word.

Any move in this direction, is a good one in my eyes. Congrats, and keep moving forward!

We are proud of you, Mynightmare. :supernan

I went to a few different meetings and only listened, then found a group I liked and stick to it on a weekly basis. It's just people getting together meeting for a common goal. It takes strength to admit you need/want to go and I applaud you for it. I also grew up around booze and have a lot of family who drink pretty heavily. Start coming up with a game plan now for those situations that may come up where alcohol is tempting. Don't wait until they happen.

You can do this MyNightmare!! :)
