Hi Kizzie,
Glad you got to the meeting. I am also from Melbourne although I don't live there now.
When I first started going to meetings, I would easily get irritated by people and didn't really understand what was going on. Its only until I started the actual program and doing the steps that things started to turn around for me, it also needed sober time.
What seemed to be overwhelming, everyday tasks and work are just a breeze now I can't believe I used to reward myself a beer at a time when I cleaned the house!!!
All the best
