I am very fortunate with AA meetings. There are about 300 in my driving range, so I'm told, and if I need to miss one of my regulars, dozens more are available. I'm almost anxious to get to my women's group tonight, because it has been more than a week since I've made a meeting.
The last time I went this long is maybe never.
So, guess what's happening to my stress level...
The desire to drink isn't present, and I talk to others in recovery every day; I even work with one. But, boy, it is not the same program for me. Something most helpful happens to my body, mind and spirit when I am in an AA meeting, even when my brain wanders or says the topic isn't for me.
This alcoholic hasn't a clue how some people "do this" without meetings, and she doesn't want to find out.

At Meetings, new people remind me of how it used to be and what I do not want to go back to. And at meetings I observe from people who have been around for a while or even a long time that joyful sobriety is an ongoing project reinforced by meetings.
This morning I feel back on track.
Wonder if getting to a couple of AA meetings could possibly have anything to do with this...
