Hi Change96 and congratulations on 7 weeks alcohol-free!
I'm even newer than you (39 days) but have been going to meetings since day 5, and daily since Jan 5. Why? Because I would have gone batsh*t or picked up again without a live person to talk to. AA is cheap, full of people who share my purpose & have similar experiences, and very convenient (in NYC, anyway).
Do I agree or identify w/everything I hear? No. I frankly don't care about that. Will I keep going? I don't know -- but I'll go to a meeting tomorrow. There's something there that I need now, even if I don't know what it is. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't go.
Nogard put it well -- there's no single "right" way to stay sober -- just do whatever it takes. But I do think that help helps, whether from AA or something else. I hope you find lots of support -- and SR is part of that!
