good going! keep going to other meetings, mens only, big book etc. they are all different and you can see what "fits" your schedule and needs. some meetings even allow children (i go to an all women meeting and several of the moms bring their toddlers and infants.)

re sponsorship: when i started, i got numbers from lots of people, but i waited awhile before i found someone to approach about being my sponsor. i wanted to learn more about the program and also meet and hear from others. the woman who i finally asked to sponsor me has 12 years of true sobriety, lots of wisdom, and a great sense of humor. i have very little in common with her--other than being an alcoholic--but she's added a great perspective as i go on this continuing journey.

i'm soo proud of you making a meeting. that's a great start and it illustrates your willingness to begin recovery. way to go!
