I finally did something I haven't done since I joined the program 33 years ago; I went for weeks without attending a meeting. And why would I give up the lifeline that rescued me from the very misery that nearly destroyed my life?
Simple. I'd had an accident while working out and fractured my right foot - causing the doctor to fit me with at boot that confined my to my home since the first week of December. While that doesn't seem like very long, maybe you should give it a try sometime. At first I didn't think it would be a big deal. Plenty of time to catch up on my reading. Lots of time to binge watch movies. Plenty of time to hang out on the web.
But let me tell you something; when you're a physically active person just hanging around the house gets boring real fast. While I got a lot of support from AA friends and my sponsor there's nothing like spending time at meetings fellow - shipping with those I got sober with.
