Went to first AA meeting today
I've done some stints of sobriety before but just using this site, and...myself. It wasn't working altogether so I went to an AA meeting today. I was feeling weird about it when I first went in...and some of the "god bothering" content was a bit strange but I just set that to one side. And it was really fine, and actually quite a beautiful experience. I got a lot out of hearing everyone's stories. There were some rough 'round the edges folks there but many were just like me... women trying to hold it together with jobs and families and a secret bad drinking problem (no longer a secret). A couple of the ladies there gave me their numbers and told me to call anytime. They were all very welcoming and I am pretty sure I will be going back next week. Not sure why I put it off for so long.
