Well done on choosing to go to a meeting rather than drink.
I must admit I turned up to a meeting (my second) on a day when I'd been drinking. It was the day when I finally accepted that I did, in fact, have a problem. The day when I started hearing some of the stupid things I'd said to people [Telling the chemist "I want to make it quite clear I don't have a problem. (pause). Why can't I quit drinking?" Telling my friends, "I can drink like nice people."]
This was late afternoon. I'd not planned on quitting when I woke up. Quite the opposite. I'd decided that since I couldn't quit on my own, I wouldn't. I'm not sure what changed my mind. Probably my higher power at work. It still took a few weeks before I could bring myself to use the A word.
But I digress. Hope it goes well. You'll make a wholebuncha friends. Friends who'll help keep you sober. And possibly (and possibly annoyingly) find somewhere you feel you belong. :ghug3
And apologies if that should have been in the past tense
