Nice to hear from you, well done on getting over the hurdle on Sunday.
Of course we will encourage you to start working on those steps, without them these challenges, like the one on Sunday, will keep popping up, and the day will come when you will give in. The book gives many examples to demonstrate that, folks who didn’t do the suggested steps last for a while by will power, then falling even when their lives were going fine otherwise.
So looking for an out of town meeting is a good idea, but also consider sitting with the big book, and each day listening to a bit from a big book study on you tube, you can find various ones just by typing in AA Big Book study. Keep in touch with us here, we all have been where you are and understand.
