So my coping mechanism since I was diagnosed as a kid is to break a big project (or one with alot of moving parts) into smaller bites to avoid getting overwhelmed and shutting down.

BUT: How do I calm myself down at the outset of my cases, where big picture analysis is actually needed? im a litigator - I can't break it down into smaller parts (filing this or that document) if I don't know where I'm going! It feels like I hit a wall.

Not sure if anyone has tips, or can empathize?

Why do I keep doing this…many times I’ve told myself I would not drink anymore yet every Friday afternoon I find myself picking up a case of beer, like on autopilot. I used to limit it to just weekends, but now I find myself more and more drinking during the week…feeling miserable at work the next day, if I even make it to work. I don’t know what has to happen for me to finally realize I need to stop and actually follow through with it. Blacked out last night, feeling ashamed of myself.

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who shares in this group. It truly helps me stay sober. I am approaching 12 months sober but have been struggling lately. While I have not relapsed, I’ve been close. Normally, before I get out of bed, I write down my reason to stat sober for the day, but lately the reasons have been lousy at best. But reading about everyone’s struggles and successes has helped get me through this past month. So thank you all for the inspiration to keep going strong!

If I want to go to an AA meeting do I just show up? What happens my first time? Do I have to quit drinking before I go to one/ be committed to quitting before going? How many people are at these?

Not a daily drinker, but blackout when I do. Thx.

1st of all: I’m super inspired by this bowl. I’m now mid-30s and recently went 50+ days without drinking and felt good/productive. (Longest streak since before turning 21) But how do you stick with it? I’m conflicted bc I haven’t hit a “rock bottom” and part of me loves a glass of wine to unwind and mark the end of the workday, but I also have a hard time stopping once I start (no such thing as 1 glass). Feel boarder-line between these 2 worlds and unsure where to go. Anyone feel similar?
