I don't know...Maybe I did it wrong...Maybe I did it right...I only have eight months sober...I'm not sure. But I was attracted to the older members in the meetings from the get go....They looked happy...They talked about being sober for 20+ years...They talked about serenity and how they don't drink.. That's all I wanted...They talked about how they did it...I wanted these people as friends. I earned their respect by showing up and listening...Not looking at girls ankles...I became friends with these people...And I still am. These people teach me how to live....I was clueless in that department. I went in there looking for something to change my life...And I found it. And I worked for it...And I still work for it. It's there for anybody that wants it....What you do with it?.....That's the key.
