I dig college-campus-AA. Nice to not be sitting with all old geezers like my sponsor - LOLOLOL.

I drank "successfully" and pretty normally through college and into my mid 20's. For whatever reason, something changed. It was kinda slow......but it was there - my addiction and later alcoholISM started taking over. (and not everyone who drinks alcoholically has alcoholism - that's why I capitalize the last 3 letters). I went from normal drinking to alcoholic drinking. That was pretty bad. Got a DUI.....started having "issues" regarding my drinking. Like any good soldier though, I pressed on! Yay me......I finally made it to full-blown alcoholism. LOL

It's all good though. AA's going to be better and worse than you thought. Some things will be cool....some will seem pretty lame. It IS awesome though....and that's coming from someone who thought it was THE worst thing in the world to go to -- frickin' AA...... lol
