There's always someone here. We have the North American contingent, and when we're asleep, there's Europe and Oceania. You have to use the resources here. Post if you feel weak and there will be multiple people to help you through it.

Might be time to revise your recovery plan so that next time there are more tools in your sobriety armoury. Dee's thread is great for this... http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...y-plans-1.html

Thing is, it's all very well being sober, but it's the recovery process that teaches us how to LIVE Sober. How to deal with life on life's terms. Because just because we've stopped drinking, it doesn't mean that suddenly life and relationships are easy.

Have you checked out the AA meetings near you. Chances are there will be one you can get to soon.

Wishing you all the best for your sobriety and recovery. BB

I made it through sunday which is the hardest day. I had to run some errands and pulled up to two liquor stores but didn't go in.

I had to realize that the liquor store,
liquor isles are not going anywhere's
and will always we there... BUT.....

You....we....I can change where to
drive to or which isles to avoid.

Choose a different route to drive
on those errunds and don't look
for liquor signs or store. Look for
other landmark signs.

Id drive to an AA meeting and sit in
a empty parking lot if needed just to
avoid driving and sitting in a liquor
parking lot. Maybe a church parking
lot. or a Brec park or place to walk or
jog with trees or a lake ...something
serene and far away from poison.

Glad you didn't go in. Now, how about not pulling up to any more liquor stores? That's just tempting fate...

being of service to others in AA is a tool we use to help forget about the sadness
