Hi emgreen and regretful. I completely understand about isolation and missing mtgs. If you have to miss a mtg can you meet another alcoholic for coffee or at least call them? Also, are you all reading the daily meditation or writing in a journal? They do have online AA mtgs, but I Wouldn't want that to become a substitute. I know ppl who come to mtgs, sit by the door and leave right after the prayer or during the announcements. When I isolate I get all caught up in my stinking thinking and the result can be "just one" drink or bong hit. And if I relapsed I don't even know if I could muster the courage to pick up a 24 hr chip. This fear and the support grp really help. By having a sponsor and home group I always felt like not only would I let myself down but all these people who have opened their hearts to me. Sobriety aside, isolation can also lead to depression, anxiety, and the longer I isolate the harder it is to leave my house. I have a little over a year sober, and I only go to 2 mtgs a week sometimes one. That's just what works for me even though some frown on my schedule. I never did the 90 in 90 either, but I'm not going to X amount of mtgs to appease the masses.

Love & Light
