The phoenix is a sober support community. I forgot to mention that. Some activities do fellowship time afterwards

It takes courage to be honest. I found it too difficult to expose myself, I would just fade away. I hope your own acknowledge your courage and strength!

This might sound harsh..
āBe about it donāt talk about it.ā
Iāve seen countless individuals die or keep on as a miserable existence.
Whether you feel like you blew it is irrelevant.
Thereās plenty of solutions here, but it takes action.. half as much as it took to get that next drink pill or fix.
Reach out get connected chase recovery like you chased your drink pill or fix.
If it feels awkward.. oh well 
Iām sure youāve been in awkward situations before.. this awkwardness will open doors to dreams and beautiful possibilities.
āSurrender to win!ā

Call your Sponsor before the slip. In early recovery I prayed for the willingness to be willing. Wishing you the the best recovery.

We all do this one day at a time. Do not pick up and go to a meeting. Youāre not alone as we have all been where you are and with a little help and focus you will stay sober. You can get better every day, even every minute, if you donāt pick up. If you do, one thing is for sure that it will not get better and for sure it will get worse. Take a deep breath and try and relax. Today youāre on your way to a sober life and that is what is most important. I am sober just over 10 years and life is pretty good. Sobriety gives me many things including a clear mind and physically not having to recover from alcohol . Life is not always perfect but I have a chance that today will be another great day with sobriety.
