Hi LoneWolf, I've been in and out of AA for the last couple of years, I guess. I tried out a variety of meetings (twice) to select which I would attend each day. Every meeting is different and has it's own culture or flavor. Initially, I observed and sort of enjoyed those differences from a sociological perspective.
It didn't take long for people to notice I'd been around for awhile and to start talking with me. That was awesome. One thing I learned is that in addition to taking people's phone numbers, I should give them mine. This resulted in a few people texting me to find out how I was doing. Very helpful because I'm pretty shy with new people.
One of the things you will learn in AA is that "being destroyed" is actually a good thing - it gives you the desperation to do anything it takes to be sober, which is actually a gift.
Do let us know how your call goes tomorrow, eh?
O
