I'm new to this site....sort of. I think I found this site a few years ago....during one of my attempts to moderate or cut back on my drinking. However, now it looks like I'm here for good this time.
I quit a little over a year ago, due to a 2nd DUI. I'd been posting on a different website, but it got rather quiet on there. This one looks to me more active.
For now I seem to be re-arranging my 'keeping-sober' activities. For the first year it was DUI classes, AA meetings about once a week, posting on the other website, and therapy sessions once a month.
After the year hit I wasn't going to AA as much and started to question if I still need it and therapy. Most of the AA relapse stories start with 'I quit going to meetings, got complacent, and found myself having a drink'....this I'd learned recently since I've been going to meetings daily for the past 10 days. However, I've hit a wall with AA.....the religious aspect is hard for me and the 'do it my/our way' people.
So, I'm trying some new things, a Buddhist 12 step meeting and this website. And I'll keep with my once a week AA habit and once a month therapy visits.
Hope everybody out there is doing OK.
