Welcome to SR! Glad you are here. This is a great place to find support. You are not alone. Meetings can be uncomfortable at first. I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. Here at SR you will find that some members go to AA while others do not. It is a personal choice. Some members just come here for support. Personally I enjoy going to my outside meetings--which include a variety of groups like AA, NA and Celebrate Recovery in addition to coming here to SR. Recovery is a process. The main thing for me was that I had to get honest with myself about my drinking and then find others that could help me. I wasn't able to stop drinking on my own. In fact, I could relate to what you posted about your friend and how far advanced her alcoholism had become. I felt hopeless at one time, but today I have hope. SR, plus other outside programs, had alot to do with that. Hope to hear more from you soon. We do recover.
