Hi Pearl,
It's awesome that you came to this board and have decided to go to a meeting tonight.
Please know that you are not alone, there are many other students in your college going through similar issues with alcohol and substances. I myself and so many others of us have gotten sober through AA meetings, What worked for me was to go to a different meeting each day, eventually you will find a few meetings that you really enjoy. Also what worked for me was raising my hand as a new comer and speaking with a old timer, ask them to be your temporary sponsor. Trust me, these many of these old timers know what it takes to get and stay sober. If you follow the 12 steps and the advice of a old timer who follows the Big Book of AA, I am telling you from experience you can and will stay sober. Good luck to you, please let us know how it goes!
