I was scared of AA…I went to 5 meetings my first day sober…cried my eyes out each time and drove away, having never gotten out of my car. I finally worked up the courage to go, and after that initial feeling of wanting to vomit…guess what…they accepted, and encouraged me. It is our ego that stands in our way…push it to the side. What helped me…that meeting I went to, I had an important person that knew I was going…there was no way, I was going to tell her I chickened out…again.

Do you know what’s making it feel uncomfortable?
I went for about six months and even brought my grandpa (proud AA member, 40 years Sober) to two meetings and then I fell… And I feel like I can’t get back up
I’m scared of going and failing again. I’m scared of going a night without booze in my near reach.
I’m a failure. A completely miserable useless failure.
It sounds like fear of what hasn’t happened yet. Instead you’re here, looking to stop, asking for help. That’s fantastic. You only need to be here right now. You only need to be sober right now.
I’ve relapsed, and there are lots of others here who have a well. It’s an opportunity to spot what isn’t working and what we can do better. Do you know what tripped you up this time?
It’s trite, but I find this quote helpful: “Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.” And each one gets a little easier.

I’m guessing it’s Anxious. Job interview this afternoon, and didn’t sleep at all.
I’m feeling productive, a bit more relaxed and clear headed. Happier today

Proud of my self … it’s a long weekend in Canada and about 25 people have asked me to come party and watching the reaction on there faces when I tell them I’m sober is pretty funny … I’m am no longer the life of the party and I love it:smiley:
I hope everyone has a super sober day
