You can do what ever you really want to do hon. You have the control.

One day at a time. If you need assistance, please attend an AA meeting.

Love you

The online meetings can be really helpful Relapses sometimes happen, but you just got to keep on going. Like Brenda said... one day at a time. I've been sober 60 days now. It hasn't been easy, but I did it. And it does actually get easier the longer I go.

I do not know what happened tonight, but I would not despair hon

AA meetings are going on all the time, in every town. You may want to consider going to a live AA meeting instead of an online one. Things like this need real people and you could need to find a sponsor, which can only happen with a real, live AA meeting. Churches and Hospitals are great sources to find out when and where are live AA meetings are being held.

Love you

If you go to an AA meeting, ask if they have a pamphlet that shows the days, times, and locations of others. I've been to every kind of _A there is. AA, NA, MA, CA... you name it!

Hey Find a sponsor honestly, this helped me. Before you take a drink call the sponsor and ask them if they think it's a good idea; simply having to go through this process will pretty much affirm that it is NOT a good idea; and if that doesn't work talking to the sponsor will. You can usually find AA meetings every night/day around you if you look hard enough and I seriously would recommend this. Don't even skip a day, when you don't feel like going its more important than ever to go! You can do this, AA works if you work the steps, one day at a time easy does it...mantras.

Also, online meetings are great, I tried these for a few weeks; but to be totally honest the "pressure" you feel to succeed in a real meeting is much more effective, but this may just be my opinion. Human contact and a strong support system being in place is what this takes.

Sober almost 6 months from alcohol, 11 months from Heroin, and five months from Marjuana here, and still struggling, so don't feel like it'll get better right away, this is a life long challenge but if you do it day by day it honestly works. Just remember, put off the drink until tomorrow; if you feel like having it today say "I'll drink it tomorrow", then do the same thing day after day. Can not stress enough to seriously take it one day at a time.

Best wishes and love,
