sweetichick - its great that you had a good experience there tonight. It really can be a great place to get sober and stay sober.
I would also like to add another note to my earlier post in this thread. While some aspects of AA are difficult and sometimes triggering for me, other times the experience is absolutely wonderful. Today would be a good example - I went to the sunday morning meeting I've gone to for the last few weeks, was hugged by someone I met there 2 weeks ago, and met some more people.
The room itself was full of positive energy and what felt like a deep loving connection. It was a really beautiful experience, and I've now decided to make that meeting my homegroup. So while some aspects of AA are difficult, these experiences are why I do really appreciate it and the people in it, and why I keep coming back.
I'm glad you're giving it a chance sweetichick
