Up at 3:30am, to work by 5:00am, leave work at 5:30pm, get back home by 6:30/7:00pm, hit an 8:00pm meeting, get home by 9:30pm, in bed by 10:00pm or so.
the problem aint just trying to fit a meeting into the day. there is also a problem fitting anything into your day. you only have 3 hours a day that are not related to working.

those three hours are very important. if you are home and want family time, it will be important to make sure that you are with your family when you are home. if you go to a meeting on another day then maybe, go early and meet people before the meeting, then participate in the meeting, and try to make some contact after the meeting. this is the experience of the meeting before the meeting and the meeting after the meeting. it can be a more rewarding way to have a meeting. but that may not work.

it is not a good thing to spend those 3 hours every day at AA, or reading AA or self help material, or listening to tapes...when you have a familyi that you want to learn be with and grow with and change with and love and serve.

take it one day at a time. don't be offended or think your doing something wrong when people keep telling you to go to 90 meetings in 90 days. do what works for you. if you stay clean then things are working. and you got to keep working. keep changing. ONE DAY AT A TIME.
