Do people usually go to meetings to help increase their sobriety strength?
Curious....What do you do at your meetings that makes you want to attend more often?
I didn't start attending meetings this time until around the 40-50 day mark as this May class was enough support for me until folks started dropping like flies in mid-June or so here and I decided I needed something more in my recovery plan.
Currently, I'd say I average three meetings a week. I'm not working an active 12 step program at the moment and am still using SR as my primary source of recovery support, but I definitely look forward to the meetings I do attend as a way to get some face-to-face recovery talk. Plus it's an hour a day when I can get out of my own mind and house and little world and instead focus on others who are also on the road to recovery. I went to two meetings today and both were absolutely amazing.
What makes me want to attend more often? Basically I almost always walk out of a meeting with a feeling of peace and serenity and some assurance that I've made the right decision in removing alcohol from my life. I like that feeling so I keep going back.
Glad you made a meeting and hope you'll give some more a try. It certainly can't hurt and might be a huge help.
