I got out to a meeting and made some new friends! [View all]

Have done a couple Zoom meetings the past two days which was fun (I had never zoomed before, technology is amazing!) and tonight someone came to pick me up. After nearly two weeks of isolation, at first it was weird to be around so many people. But I need to step out of my comfort zone if I am going to succeed.

As usual, the meeting hit on every single topic I’ve been struggling with the past few weeks. It’s crazy how that happens. I feel good (if not a little over caffeinated).

Tonight I am grateful for NA and also for my friend Frank who called at 9:00 on the nose to make sure I was safe and had not been abducted (we both watch a lot of true crime stuff). I am grateful for the new friends I made and their willingness to pick me up and take me home. I am grateful to be clean tonight.
