I am not in Houston - have you looked online? ( sorry if that is a dumb question )!
I am a few weeks away from six months. I have not been working my support systems and feeling really “ wobbly “. I keep feeling as if I am heading towards relapsing. Just want ya to know you are not alone, Brianna!
I am going to try to make a meeting very soon, online better yet in person. I m telling myself - I will not drink tonight.
I’m going to check in more, specifically when experiencing cravings( it is really just these past few weeks that they have occurred). I feel lame typing this while I sincerely feel like the heat is getting to me-literally! This weather is a trigger, feels like and I know I will never be able to have “ just one “. I am gonna play the tape forward. That seems to help. Let us know if you find, found a meeting!
I have been looking for the past week I never really tried meetings or other programs I’ve just isolated myself and hoped for the best but I’m willing to try anything before I know I’ll relapse
You are doing a smart thing by looking up and being willing to go to a meetings and since Houston is a major city, you will not have to restrict yourself to a particular type of meeting in the case it may not feel right for you.
I am not reaching out as much as I should be and so I am not feeling good right now.
I A M grateful that you shared, Brianna.
There are a range of online meetings also. You have motivated me to attend a meeting and soon. I can check in with you also-this evening…people always seem to provide solid insights, suggestions here.

Gotcha. I am really sorry that you are struggling like this. I wish I could say I know the feeling but I was on alcohol real bad. I was so bad I was 2 days away from dying but got lucky and found a liver donor. I will always be here if you ever want to message me to talk
Any addiction is not easy thank god u got another chance to keep going. Thank you and like wise most of the time I’m free to talk

You keep looking and you will find a meeting that feels like home. Then is becomes MUCH easier. Regardless, just resist the urge to compare and keep your mind open. If you will do anything to stay sober, it will come to you.

Thanks y’all.
