Question
Just wanted to give you an update. I been doing very well i have been working out everyday. I missed one but i found a meeting on friday and i will continue to go there weekly. My girlfriend is talking to me everyday and is very supportive. I hung around my friends all weekend and they didnt try to pressure me or anything. I was very impressed so it seems everyone is behind me and i want to thank you for supporting me also!

Answer
Jose,
   I am glad to hear that you are being supported by friends.  I am also glad that you have found some meetings to attend.
   I cannot stress enough the importance of going to meetings regularly.  I would recommend to you to make a meeting a day for 90 days.
   Hang in there and don't drink from one day to the next.
Grace and Peace,
Clyde

I can answer questions on the recovery from alcohol addiction as I am a recovering alcoholic with 18+ years of sobriety. I can also address the spiritual aspects of the 12-Step program as I have a Master of Divinity degree; serve as a pastor for the Quaker church; and, serve as a hospice chaplain. I have also served as a prison chaplain for one year and currently volunteer as a mentor once a week, working with two inmates one-on-one as they work towards reentry into society as free persons.
