Hi Help,
Most people who walk into AA have a problem with the Higher Power. But it is through working the 12 steps that we find our Higher Power. That Higher Power enables us to live a happy, joyous and free - free from the obsession to drink.
Meetings are a wonderful place to meet people who understand exactly how hopeless you feel. There's plenty of happiness and plenty of unconditional love in the meeting rooms........but at times, there is sadness, like has been shared in this thread. It is ever a reminder that alcoholism and addiction kills. I am glad you are seeking help now.
Please let us know how it goes at the meeting on Wednesday .
