Week 1 - Post Freedom

Here is a little recap of the meetings I went to during my first week of sobriety. I was discharged from Keystone @ 10am on Sunday, March 18. In seven days I went to 10 meetings. I collected over 50 phone numbers. And made honest connections with 5 woman. Not everyday was stellar, I had a few rough days where I was dying to drink but I didn't and I can honestly say I have 38 Days! I am looking forward to week 2 out of rehab and checking out another slew of different meetings. #BeatMode #NoDayButToday #Freedom #RedChipper #38 days Sunday, March 18 - 31 Days 2:30pm - First meeting on the outside Steps on Sunday @ Holy Trinity Coincidences - The Step was 5, which is the last step we studied while I was in Keystone. The Chair/Share person's name was Letisha! 5pm - Language of the Heart @ Swat Methodist Coincidences - Met a Swarthmore Lady named S who has looked into FT for a trainer. Met E who knows my mother. 7:00pm - Starting Over @ St. Mads Coincidences - Ran into C from Freedom. Met some women and got numbers. Tuesday, March 20 - 33 Days 7:30pm - Wallingford @ Holy Trinity Met my friend D there. Picked up my 30 day chip! Topic was forgiveness and spiritual awakening. "Cannot go forward while looking in the rear-view mirror". You need to hear with your head not just your ears. Wednesday, March 21 - Snow Storm 5:30pm - Chester Woodlyn @ Club Good turn out despite weather. We can make a conscious decision to drink, we cannot make one to stop. Man takes a drink, drink takes a drink, drink takes the man. A sick alcoholic won't get help if he keeps his mouth shut. 7:30pm - Women's @ Chester/Woodlyn Only 4 total ladies there. Only lasted 45 minutes but was able to share easily. Thursday, March 22 7:30pm - Chester Woodlyn @ Club Heard a young man share about his younger brother i felt like I was listening to myself talk about my brother and his current situation and how it is affecting my parents especially. Friday, March 23 7:30pm - Chester Woodlyn - Club The meeting was LITERALLY me and the chair person! No joke! It was kinda cool and went by really quickly. The gentleman was named R was a local and had about 20 years. He had some good advice and was really nice. Saturday, March 24 - 37 days! 7am - First Things First @ Media Hall Went with my friend D. Who would have thought 20+ drunks voluntarily got together at 7am on a Saturday. We read Chapter 2 of BB. The thing that stuck our was the part about the "real alcoholic" on page 21. 4pm - Women's @ Chester/Woodlyn Read Chapter 2 AGAIN! I don't believe in coincidences lol!
