Just get to a meeting. Not group therapy. A bunch of drunks in a room. People who work the steps can change.

You'll find all kinds of people in the spectrum of using and attending to get a court slip signed to people with long time sobriety. Each person is different. Some are more sober than others.

I drank daily, so I attend meetings daily. Try a variety of meetings.

Just don't drink for now and go to meetings. The more sober you get, the better YOU will know what meetings to attend.

I'd make suggestions, but you're new, so some meetings could be intimidating.

Listen to Sandy B. On xa speakers online. He chaired the Saturday Morning Live meetings in 1994 in Washington DC. It was (is?) a large speaker-step meeting. He's well known near me (DC suburbs), not sure if he's still around. He's a great step speaker!

Best wishes!
