There are times I don't go to meetings but that is mostly because of life situations or I am just to dang tired but I went for the first six months, tired or not. I had to have that meeting to get out of my head. I felt better after the meeting. I needed the fellowship at the meetings.
I still need these things, but not always everyday.
Now, for me, it is about learning more and giving back.
I didn't know how to deal with life sober in 30 days, 3 months or even a year. I had to keep coming back. There are times I hear something at a meeting I had never thought of and I can use that and apply it.
I also give back because the doors were open for me. I have a commitment to my HG and I am there every week.
If time was an issue and I had to choose then I think my Monday BB meeting and my Tuesday HG would be the two I will never miss if I can help it. My classroom and my commitment were two key pieces for me in early sobriety and they remain that way today.
