Hi nanita, well done to you for making that call to AA,its not an easy thing to do cold calling and reaching out for help.You realy do have a desire to stop drinking and that will help you in this recovery,just keep hold of the strength you found to make that call and use it along the way.I to phoned AA in desperation and at my first meeting was greeted like an old friend by the members,their warmth overwhelmed me.I found out for the first time that I wasn't alone in feeling trapped by alcohol,and in that room there were people just the same as me.There were some old men drinking coffee but they had the spark of life in there eyes not the battle weary eyes of drunks.
Take care of yourself till the meeting and try not to drink just for today!
