If your local intergroups or meetings haven't made arrangements to keep holding meeting someway, look into https://myrecovery.com, https://intheroom.com both are hosting online video meetings.

Keep in touch with your local support network. Look after your older members, or even go OLD SCHOOL early days AA and have small in home meetings!!!!!

And of course , we can have a meeting here

I haven't been to another meeting since the one last year, but it's good to know there are options for those who may need it.

Somewhat related, we just watched a documentary film on youtube about Missio.  They were one of the bands whose lyrics about sobriety really helped me (Middle Fingers, Rad Drugz).  Well, one member, supposedly clean for a while now, confessed he couldn't remember the last time he was sober.  He's been getting fucked up regularly all this time, and no one knew - not even his musical partner/brother.

It so disappointed me (and coincidentally or not, I became extremely nauseous after that part), and made me feel for the weight of his guilt in lying to so many, including those like me who have taken comfort and inspiration from them.

Then again, the music itself helped me; that doesn't change, thankfully.

That's fantastic, mickey.

And kudos to all who've been able to abstain during one of the world's shakiest times.

There is a soberversary to acknowledge today.  I won't out the person, but I hope that they know how much I love them and how proud I am of them.  Brings me to tears.  (No, really it does! :wipes tears from eyes:) Jump on out if you wanna and let me give you a big, fat hug!

Thank you, my dear friend.  One of these days, IN PERSON, dammit.

Yup, more than 30 pounds less of me, a damaged liver for life and all the physical and mental shit that goes with it.

But, I have my life back.  My clarity.  Myself.

With that came the sobering - haha -  knowledge that I'm an alcoholic (something my own mother has yet to acknowledge - the shame!!), and always will be.  I'm not necessarily proud of that, but it's part of the deal now.

My level of missing a bigass scotch, neat, is outweighed by my resolve and fear of ever drinking again.  I'm not ready to die yet.

So...two years and counting

We are so glad you are with us, now and for the long haul. Love and positive vibes on your soberversary, hedo, and every day
