Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
Waiting in the intake room. Probably got another 30 before I see anyone while my covid test gets done. Havent had a drink in 5 days, and am feeling pretty ok. Just wanna get back to the corgi and get on with recovering. Fingers crossed they won't keep me too long, on account of i haven't had any bad WD symptoms, just a little sleeplessness. I think maybe an outpatient thing would be best, but ill probably be here for a few days at least I'd imagine.
Sending you all, all of my love 
Everything AA and Meeting Guide are two apps you can download for free.
Everything AA has the AA literature, plus a guide for online meetings.
Meeting Guide locates AA meetings in your area [or another town if you want.]
You'll hear this in every AA meeting; addiction is the disease that tells us we don't have a disease.
Look at Heath Ledger/Whitney Houston/Marilyn Monroe/Amy Winehouse/Elvis. All were young, beautiful, talented, acclaimed, and beloved. Any one of them would be happy to trade all their money and fame for the chance you have right now.

When you go into the rehab or the Out Patient Program, just look at your peers. You'll see some people who are treating it like a joke, or a chance to get the family/job/courts off their back. They are already planning the next drink. Stick with the quiet ones who listen to the staff and take the suggestions. It's much easier to win your battles when you have an army standing with you.
