Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, and I just want to share a small achievement. I find often that if I drank alcohol yesterday I’m much more likely to drink it again today, and yesterday for the first day in around 2 weeks I had no alcohol, this is making it much easier to have none today.
Anyway, that’s all, and it’s not a big deal I just wanted to share it.
Here’s my story. Walked into work drunk at 9 am and got sent to HR. Yadda yadda yadda, detox, rehab, random tests for the next 18 months.
All the staff in the rehab said go to AA, so I went. First time in my life I felt like I was meeting people who understood where I was coming from. No pressure to do anything except stay sober. There are online meetings 24/7, and you don’t have to turn on the camera or speak if you don’t want to. Look for secular meetings if you’re atheist/agnostic.

Don’t worry about the jargon or get hung up on the Big Book. The original members got sober by talking to each other
