I went to my first Al-Anon meeting last Friday. I was glad I went. The people there were nice. I am going to try another one because although the ladies there were really nice, it wasn't a good fit for me. There were only three people in attendance and I think I would like to attend a meeting with more people. They were all quite a bit older than I am, and it just didn't feel like our problems were the same. They were more or less dealing with their children's drinking, and I am there for different reasons.
I listened to the voices of those from SR which said, "Go to at least 6 meetings, and it might take a couple to find the right one." So, I took what I could from the initial meeting, read all the literature they provided and have thought alot about Step 1 this week.
Good luck to you, and I wish you the best.
