Thanks! I dont have a plan yet, just decided this morning. Where I live everythings still closed due to covid so for now ill have to join groups online etc. Ive had it with drinking, feels like alcohol and i were in a boxing match and I lost. Have no desire to drink but the way i am if i just have one ill end up drinking until i pass out so even one drink im avoiding

Same here but recently 2 meetings went back to in-person. They also have zoom meetings but I haven't tried those. Zoom would probably be better than nothing!

Welcome back Laura! I didn't lose a boxing match, I won by stepping out of the ring, with an AV like a gorilla inside it, and not engaging when it asks me for a drink.
