Introducing myself
Hi all!
I am 30 days without a drink. I am a high functioning female alcoholic binge drinker. I am in my late 30s ans have drank since i was 16. After a scary few days last month ( i couldn't stop ) i decided to fo to A A meetings and these have helped although i havent gone tonsome for 10 days.
U dont have a sponsor after asking one who refused I have just gone to meetings instead, Im agnostic but willing.
I have found this month enlightening but very difficult. I have gine through ranges of emotions and keep doing so. Tofay i am very lonely. I have no energy for a relationship as i am not in that place but i feel very lonely. I wondered if others had felt the same?
Best things is clarity of thought and being active. I look forward to hearing from everyone xx

Welcome Pseudocream. The roller coaster of emotions is common in the beginning, and most will advise you to avoid romantic relationships in early sobriety, as we are vulnerable to relapse and many relapse over relationship troubles. If you are lonely, and there is no other option, then hang out here. Read and post. There's always somebody around

Hi pseudocream, welcome. ^^what ZenLifter said.^^ Expect your emotions to be all over the place for awhile. And if AA doesn't resonate with you, there are other support groups out there. Smart Recovery, Rational Recovery to name just two.
