I want to say something here.
Going to AA meetings and just sitting there and listening is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I used to "go to AA" looking for a reason to hate it so I could go back to drinking. Or looking for a girlfriend (I'm quite ashamed of that one). Or pretty much any reason other than to get sober.

Now I go to stay sober one day at a time. And guess what, good things are happening. I have friends - other drunks that don't want that life anymore. And that's just the thing. I don't want that life anymore. I've broken up with alcohol - the relationship is irreparable.

Thank you SR for being there for me as well.

You're coming up on two weeks sober! Keep going, it gets better. Sometimes the ride gets rough, but the longer you're sober, the better you'll feel.
