any way i look at it, i am just glad yer doin something to stop drinking.
as the others have said, meetings were very important for me early on. i didnt have a clue how to live and was scared crapless of drinking. i knew if i drank, there was a high probability that i would kill myself.
today i still hit at least 2 meetings a week. i went to 2 meetings today alone. i did it for the same reasons dr bob says:
1) sense of duty
2) its a pleasure
3)because in doing so i am paying my debt to the people that took time to pass it on to me.
4) every time i go i take out a little more insurance for myself against a possible slip.

my life doesnt revolve around meetings today. it involves them. i have become an active, useful member of society.
