I went to my first AA meeting many years ago. I went to about 3 or 4 before I got the courage to get out of my car and go into the meeting. At the end of that first meeting many of the people said to me "Hope to see you back tomorrow night." Unbeknownst to me, I walked into a meeting that met 7 nights per week. I kept going back. I remember thinking, when I was about 90 days sober, "If I'm going to drink I better do it now because if I hang around much longer those people will come looking for me." I didn't drink and I kept going back. I moved at about 4 years sober and never went back to that meeting. I drank at 6 years sober. I NEED meetings and it seems the more meetings I attend, the more meetings I need. Enjoy the comfort and acceptance of a judgment free gathering of like minded people.
