That's about it. I worry about my beginners' AA group - and anyone else in the program who is dealing with this stressful time. There are some Zoom meetings and I was told there are a few which are meeting outdoors now with proper distancing. It's been over 2 months since most meetings in my district went on hiatus, I never imagined back then that it would be so long.

This is a humorous idea, and supermarkets, knowing that open self serve food stands are likely not going to survive in the long term want to make money from them.

I'm seeing ALOT of alcohol memes & tweets, about people drinking alot more




I don't that person, but I know how my slippery slope started.

It truly doesn't help,does it? aNd this group just does addiction,, throw that on top of real world problems. We "addicts" deal with lil things most people don't even realize, I was on wagon, off wagon. haven't had a drink in 2 weeks now,, but I still wake each morning after sleeping well and my mind says to me,,what did you do last night? my "lil girl" and wife beside me in bed,,and yet the mind still reminds you. just keep keeping on Iris,,It's all the advice I have...other than giving you recipes on how I gained 15 pounds without drinking..
