I like being sober today. This time it feels like I have just begun whereas in the past when I got to day 4 or so, I felt like I was without a drink for far too long .. I think this site makes a big difference. Somehow it makes me realize that it is a day to day struggle, and many of us have just begun.
In AA there are so many people kind of noisily celebrating their 5, 10 or whatever years that it is hard to relate. And they always ask up front how many are 30 days or less. In a pretty big group maybe 5 people out of 25 raise their hands. So you just don't feel part of the group sometimes. They are all having a social hour and I am a drunk who wants to talk about well, me.
I still go to AA pretty often, but it is this site that is making a difference.
I probably won't be on the MWO for a week because I am going to a family funeral in another state. It will be a bit difficult but the family does not drink all that much so I will be reasonably safe. Good luck to you all. Talk soon, :thanks:
