Decided on which 5 meetings fit best with my schedule, making sure I included 3 that my sponsor attended and made a commitment that I would be there unless I had a work thing or was too ill to go to work that day.
Made a commitment to myself to talk with a sober alcoholic before I would drink again.
Tried my best to tell the truth about what I'd experienced and felt drinking and what was going on inside me currently. At homegroup I would talk about whatever I didn't want to talk about that week.
Attended a book study each week, useful because nothing would stick at first when I read it on my own.
Made progress on the steps, getting the maximum understanding I could from each one before going to the next.
Made a couple of conventions and witnessed sober people actually having great fun.
Learned some new attitudes about being a good employee and some social interaction standards of behavior. Being nice when I didn't feel nice.
The world and people in general improved amazingly in that very short time.
