Joan
It's great to hear from you and I am glad that you are feeling a bit better today. I know the struggle with getting to that first meeting...all I can say is phone AA in the phone book...explain it's your first time..you aren't required to give full name, just Joan.
They will try to get someone to pick you up and if not, you can meet someone say at a landmark you know and you can both travel from there.
I PROMISE YOU that it will be a turning point for you. It's not a magic wand, but I am still amazed and humbled by what I find there...and I am new to AA. But, what a gift! I can't believe that such humble, peaceful people exist! and how they have suffered! It truly is a gift and I hope you grasp it with OPEN arms! Please just give it a try - I know you're not motivated, but jeez who can be with a hangover!! I know the feeling all too well believe me! DRAG yourself there if you have to...you will never, ever forget it.
Please keep us posted!
Cath
