Just joined the app

Didn’t drink for almost a year then started again. I need to learn to deal with life instead of drinking to hide everything

Heyyy how are you today

No matter what I don’t pick up a drink (2years)

Staying accountable for my actions, knowing the outcome , motivation, taking advice, and not picking up no matter what all helped me along the way.

Not guiding you in one direction or another but I love in person AA meetings and I’m not even fully on board with AA. The zoom meetings do nothing for me, and apps are nice to kill time with like minded folk, but an in person meeting feels like therapy to me. There’s no pressure to speak. Can’t hurt to try one, if you want to. It took me 4 years to build the courage to go to a meeting and now I can’t stop.

Yes today is a new day

Why did you have a few drinks?
Do you plan on stopping?

In person meetings were the start of something very good for me. Extremely therapeutic
