My 16th AA Meeting

This one creeped me out.

It was a newcomers meeting. About 20 folks.

3 or 4 folks under one months sober. All were relapsed.

Big book, steps, miracles.

It was really cultish. If I was a newcomer, I would be scared.

I love AA, I need the f2f.

I spoke and told the group that, and that I don't have a sponser.

I told them I haven't been drunk in 26 months and that I am healing still.

I still crave and that I use online methods to stay clean. I spoke of dopamine, adrenaline, and endorphins. The science of sobriety.

I did it w the intent of giving folks that cronicly relapse some idea of what is going on in their head. To strengthen their chances of staying clean.

Helping them helps me.

Thanks.
