Sounds like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to me, UpDownAround...A psychology method designed to stop negative thoughts (DBT is somewhat the same). To be honest, though, I go to a Tools Meeting through AA which lists the tools as abstenance (duh!), meetings, sponsor, telephone, readings, etc. (not the same as those you refer to). Using these tools are supposed to help one stay sober.

Day #4 without a meeting...The isolation feels right. I just don't feel like dealing with anyone these days. While 4 days may not sound like much to some people, I usually attend 5-6 a week. I think I'm going into one of my hibernation stages.
