Gone a bit 24x7 but went to an AA meeting
So all has become a bit messier recently. I wake up and I pour a drink is usually the middle of the night or stupid a clock in the morning. I am getting to sleep very early so what to expect I’ve shifted my time zone. Working from home has made that too easy.
So, drunk I booked an Uber for a local meeting at 12. Got there no meeting. Called the AA helpline to ask what the hell was happening as it’s listed for a Wednesday, the lovely lady said you are one of us its Tuesday!! Luckily there was a nice pub nearby that was happy take my money.
There was a 8pm meeting Uber again as I was not fit to Drive. I spent
90 minutes listening to people telling me pretty much my story. I thought I could quit this alone hope I’m brave enough to go back to another meeting.
Was amazing to be in a room of people that see things the same as i do.

Alcoholism will kill you, my friend.
When I was drinking, it was 24/7 too. At work, not at work. Wake up, pour a drink. Sneak it on the job site. Went in to work one morning and they sent me home. Constantly in and out of detox, emergency rooms. Constantly had this feeling of dread until I got my alcohol.
No thanks. I'll stick to sobriety. I don't want to die that death.

Do you want to quit? Because to do that means some discomfort. Stopping drinking will cause anxiety and it's just what happens in the beginning.
To quit, don't pick up a drink. Or a pill.
Maybe go to three meetings today instead of one. While you're there, maybe ask people where the next one is. I know where I am there are people in every meeting who are willing to give rides to make it easier to get to a meeting.
