Day 1 AGAIN

Struggling Help
#1

Im struggling to get past the 7 day mark. I think when the weekend kicks in and Ive got nothing to do I turn to a drink. Im not going overboard like 2 glasses of wine but I wake up feeling like terrible. Today I cant even get out of bed, actually I can get out I just dont want to. I’ve tried several meetings online cant find any I really connect with. Does anyone use anything other then AA

I am going to try some female focused, female led, private 'sobriety counselors'. They feels less rigid and a better fit for me.

SMART Recovery, its science focused. DBT and CBT therapy. I found these be really helpful.

@376489 Welcome back for starters. If you're getting bored on the weekends come hang out with us as we do some type of activity.
We are not a glum lot.

You keep showing up for yourself, and that’s what matters! A few programs that I have found helpful are; Recovery Dharma (based on Buddhist principles), Recovery 2.0 and Women For Sobriety.

I go to the sweat lodge, and that seems to help me.

AA is the best thing for me. Celebrate Recovery is a faith based program that's pretty popular. I think wherever you go that meeting in person will be more effective :pray:

I like the Celebrate Recovery program because it's faith based on the 12 steps of AA
