Not a fail, you drove to the meeting instead of drinking. The anxiety about walking into a room full of people you don't know can be overwhelming. Sobriety isn't a sprint, it's a marathon and you took a good step there. Stay in the race, you'll get there.

I agree with everyone. Just making an attempt is a huge step in the right direction. I was very nervous going to my first meeting not knowing what to expect, where to sit, what will they think of me, etc., etc.

I was even a little nervous the whole time in the meeting not knowing what would be happening next in the meeting which were just my feelings.

The reality was everyone was very pleasant, your not expected to talk if don't want to. I felt there was a calming vibe in the air and when it was over and I was walking back to by car I felt.... "There's hope, there's a place I can turn to, I can do this.....".

I never even made it to the door--you didn't drink, you didn't fail
One step at a time--attempts do count kg

I was really down on myself today. It's been a bad day, I guess. I feel tired, sad, and just generally unwell. It's probably the not sleeping thing.

Thank you for your encouragement... I will try again, although I'm not sure when.

Until then, I'll hang out on here
