First Meeting
Ok, went to my first AA meeting. Other than it being shorter than I expected (an hour fifteen) it was just as I expected and I'm not sure how I feel about that. What I didn't expect were the stories that were just like mine. It turns out I am not a problem drinker,drunk, or mean drunk, I am an alcoholic. More times than not when I go to have a beer I don't stop until I'm drunk and sometimes not even then. I spend all of my time planning my next drink and I avoid situations where I can't drink. I even skipped the Magic Kingdom on a Disney trip with my family because I couldn't drink. That never sounded crazy to me until now!
I will hit the Saturday meeting tomorrow and see how I feel then.
