Day 3 after a slow decline back into a mess. The mess was emotional which of course led back to the bottle. Starting IOP next week. Could use a sponsor and some encouragement!!!

Great to hear you’re going to IOP. It helped me tremendously and I’m sure you’ll have the same experience. I transitioned to AA before leaving IOP to avoid any gaps in support and I’m glad I did. I’ve built some amazing new friendships in AA and look forward going to my regular meetings. Being with like minded people is a huge benefit.
Here’s some helpful information on sponsors:

Its great your here 
3 days is a moment to congratulate you, and please take a moment to be proud of this for yourself 
@Lisa07 Thank you for sharing this, i am attending my second face to face meeting on sunday. I had a brilliant experience, i was excited to be taking another approach to mg recovery and woke up last sunday morning and my gut intuition told me i need to go… so i did. I am going to take a read of the link you added thank you.

Happy to hear you went to your first meeting and enjoyed it. Too many people come on here saying AA didn’t work for them but I truly belief it’s because they weren’t ready. Honesty, openmindness and willingness are a must for a successful outcome. It’s working well for me because I had the gift of desperation when I walked thru those doors. If we want sobriety bad enough, we have to be willing to try anything. I sure hope you have as good of an experience as I have had. I now say…“I went to AA for my drinking and I stay for my thinking.”
