Thats wonderful!! I am so glad your second try was successful!
I dont go to meetings myself. But not because I dont like them. I just dont do 12 step. But still thats no reason not to go. I just choose not to.
But when i did go I found it to be very uplifting. I felt really energized after leaving.
I was scared to go too the first time. And yes I got bored toward the end. But all in all it wasnt bad.
I hope you continue to go.
I am so glad it helped with your urges.
