Congrats ....please use the program ..it works
My first try was 3 years ago in May I made it one year but didn't use the meeting or the therapy I just said I've got this beat. One year to the day I decided to celebrate, how by having a drink
within one weeks times I was in worse condition than the first time around ( when you relapse, you will go end up at a point as if you never quit I was downing a 1.75 of scotch a day) I checked back into a detox and this time around decided to work the program as it should be I can now say I have 26 months of a sober lifestyle. I attend 2-3 meeting a week have worked my steps with a sponsor, have reached out to others
I understand your uncertainity with a higher power, I was there too. I was raised Catholic but had alot of personal issues with the church and its teachings. I used the group therapy and the members of my meetings as my higher power as your are.
Just stick with it, it won't be easy but you have your group at home and a group here if you need it
Don't be afraid to reach out
