I have been wondering though when the meeting starts its a very personal thing do people normally just go on there own? and I am I thinking of it as more of a club type thing and should just find a meeting when i need one and go on my own
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Hi and welcome.
Written in AAs preamble
“Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with
any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does
not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor
opposes any causes.
Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
For this alcoholic going to meetings when I felt like it, sobriety would be impossible as it leaves things to my devices which got me drunk so often. Many years later I still go to 3-5 meetings a week, because I WANT to and it's my insurance.
BE WELL
