i got sober in small town northern michigan where, other than the meeting in small town, the next closest meeting was a 52 mile round trip. quite a few times i put 150-200 miles on my car going to meetings.
people i may know seeing me at an AA meeting, beings how it didnt bother me if they saw me fall off a barstool, was the least of my concerns. i was going somewhere for help. if anyone had a problem with me getting help, they had a problem.
i was willing to go to ANY lengths for victory over alcohol.
doesnt matter what program is chosen, it requires a decision to work it, dedication,action, and vigilince.
p.s.
thats pete thedog. he can be a real finger pointer.
especially when i dont have scoobysnacks.
