Are Sunday nights difficult for anyone else?
I am going to an AA meeting up the street at 7:30. I just feel a lot of loneliness and despair. Like I don't know what to do with my hands, pacing around, etc.
What does everyone do Sunday night that helps?

Hey Chiquen ,
Sundays were always pacing around days for me .. the last desperate chance for the AV to try and slip me up .
It gets better with time ,
I got through by distracting myself with chores , luxury hot showers , chocolate ice cream , doing what i could to de-pressurise my life one day at a time .
keep on

Hi, Chiquen
Yes, I sometimes get upset late Sunday afternoon or evening. I did today about an hour ago. Maybe from the onset of twilight plus the knowledge that I'll have to go to bed in a few hours and then the work week starts again (even though it's not a bad job as jobs go).
No promises re: what might help, but I go outside frequently during the evening and breathe that in (surrounded by trees and other greenery in a low-traffic neighborhood). I tried some deep breathing earlier when I got home from the stores and was feeling stressed. Had a few moments of sobbing for no particular reason which eventually passed. Heated up some bean burritos for dinner because I knew they would calm me down (but of course I did put two types of salsa and some sliced jalapenos on them for some excitement!).
I also remembered to count my blessings and remind myself of a few little things I accomplished over the weekend.
I think I'll lie down for 5 or 10 minutes next. Not trying to fall asleep -- I read in one of those paleo books that somehow a brief lie-down resets the sodium/potassium balance. Anyway, I usually do that every day when I get home from work just enough to reset and freshen my brainz even if the rest of me is still tired.
Hoping this helps!

Why don't you ask someone from AA to have coffee and desert somewhere.
