Thank goodness for a friend like that who sent you here! Welcome to a supportive site at SR! AA saved my life and SR has truly assisted when I couldn't get to a meeting or it was late at night (and I only had the use of a smart phone to get here!). I just surpassed 11 months of continuous sobriety and I'll be 51 next week. WOW!
Why not listen to some speaker meetings at xa-speakers.org and go to Alcoholics Anonymous and then to single speakers and take a listen. Couldn't hurt ya and you may stay sober another 40 minutes or so!
Some people use AVRT, and that is also online. Take a read. Lots to read on this site, too!
Glad you are here!
