The first week I went to AA I wanted to drink after. But then again I wanted to drink all the time, so who knows. I chalked it up to I was sober, interacting with people, talking about feelings, and having people care about me. Very strange to me at first with a clear mind. After the first week and I felt like a semi normal person, my cravings after a meeting went away. Also, I have never been to a meeting where people could smoke inside.
