Let me start by letting all of you know what a cool thing you are doing for one another! (And me) Reading your posts is a great reminder that I'm not the only one out there that has exercised poor judgment. (HUGE Understatement in my case!)

I've been ten weeks sober as of this weekend with the help of my family and a good pro counselor. It's really nice to start the day with coffee instead of liquor.

Couple of questions: When does the depression and bad attitude (on my part) stop? My previous sober stretch was over three years and it seemed like the "blues" went away a whole lot sooner than this time.

I'd like to try an AA meeting but don't really know what to expect. Do you just walk in the door and introduce yourself? Is it a good idea to go with someone else? Is there any obligation after the fact?

Let me know and thanks again.
