My advice is don't have that first drink and go to a meeting. Don't think about tomorrow, definitely don't dwell on the past, and just get to a meeting and start learning about the steps.

Don't worry about the steps or big book stuff right now. Just go to as many meetings as you can for a couple weeks. Meet some people in the rooms of AA. Share your story.

Focus only on the moment you are in. I had to take it hour by hour that first day. You got this!

I know exactly how you feel. The cravings will go away. Just have to focus on other activities. Just exercise it away until you are too tired to think about it.
