Tons of online zoom meetings. I know we have a resources for recovery page. In The Rooms app for online AA meetings. I also do The Luckiest Club. Just google “online sobriety zoom meetings” and you will find dozens.
There are plenty of online options. Because of Corona many meetings became online, and many have stayed online.
This is just for AA, other groups have their own resources.

How are you doin today?
Thanks so much for asking! Surprisingly well? My roommate and I took in a bar friend recently that’s currently homeless and quite dysfunctional. Not alcoholism, just a very tough life and a couple traumatic brain injuries. We live in Central Minnesota and also she has a heart of gold. Just was the right thing to do…karma man. Trying to get her back on her feet, which is very easy for me to do for her in my little town of 10000 but she’s just totally disassociating atm. Normally that would drive me batshit but I’m pretty calm about now and just going with things. Then my roommate who’s also my last ex (sounds weird but we are each other’s best friends, help me bury a body, ICE contact ppl) came home 3am super drunk and wanted to dredge up some old, buried, forgiven stuff between us. Idk, normally we’re more than cool with each other. Some reason dealing with her in that state totally made me want to be sober. Pretty happy with myself, at peace, and no urges today. All’s groovy for now🙂
And you? How’s things, how are you feeling?

Wow!! I never have really thought of it that way? And the whole “just one” thing has always been my downfall.
Omg, it is SO much easier for me to just say no rather than justify and stick to just one.
Thank you very much for that one!!!

Same here, going on day 3. Was sober for a couple months and recently fell off. The first days are the worst. I went 8 months being the longest without drinking when my Dad was sick. He ended up passing away but i would love to feel better soon again. Good luck Breezy.

I know the feeling. Im starting over again myself. The first days are the worst. Alcohol take away the anxiety for a short time but comes back during the first few days with a vengeance until it’s out of our system. Such a vicious cycle. We are here to help ech other though.

You are not alone, still trying to figure out how to stop. I think its due to compromising nature of our personality. I think it is the problem. People who are more flexible in nature will have same problem. We have to be strict and selfish in order to gain control over the temptation. What do you think? Please do share your thoughts on this.

That’s amazing for you to do that and for you to be able to hold it together! Stress has been the hardest for me to still push through. I know what you mean about the seeing others that way makes you want to be sober. It’s eye opening to see the change in person and so on. I’m proud of you for staying sober and I’m so happy for you for seeing so happy about it 
I just actually woke up from a horrible nightmare (I was black out and sent all these fucked up texts and voice messages and stuff and accidently sent a 7 min voice message of me and my fiancé having sex to a group of people and was sending vagina pics god knows why to my friends and stuff. And then they All told me the next morning and we’re laughing and telling me I sent them stuff so I was going thru my messages horrified of all the stuff I sent and had ZERO memory of.) And then I woke up in real life and immediately came on here. I was always so sloppy and sending dumb things to people I mean DEF not that bad but getting flirty and stupid with guys because I was so drunk when I would NEVER want to hurt my fiancé. 
I feel like I turn into a whore when I’m drunk… sorry this is a lot of detail. I have vivid dreams a lot and the past two days have been super dark like this. Buuut I’m on day 3 
I’m so grateful to have a nonbiased and friendly place to go to to be able to share stuff that’s put me in the place I’m in now. I am thankful I’m sober but damn what a rough way to start my day when I wake up to stuff like that

Day 3 today too and the anxiety is still really rough. I’ve been drinking a lot of tea which my bladder really hates 
but it’s helping a little! I just made a simple quesadilla but it felt great coming home and cooking without pouring a drink! Great job for you not giving up as well! We got this!!
I totally agree. I’m a total pushover def sucks. But it makes sense that I would be a pushover to my own temptations as well.
Bahaha!! sadly I think I’ve checked half of your dream off my bucket list in real life while completely hammered 
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I appreciate! 
yesterday was just as stressful but it was way more of a challenge. Idk, some days you’re the windshield, some days you’re the bug? But I made it another day!
Congratulations on day 3! I’m SO happy for you! 
Way to stay strong p Keep that momentum going today.
I hear ya. I’ve never let my demons and transgressions fly either, much less publicly. Feels weird, but really good all at the same time. I’ve never experienced anything as supportive and nonjudgmental as this community! It’s wonderful! Always tried to go it alone. Obviously can see how well that has worked in the past. pLol.
Wish you the best and have a great one more day! You got this!!
