I moved this from Daily Support forum. That forum is only for continuing threads (part two and beyond) This forum seems a good fit. D |
I don't use meetings/12-step in my recovery, so I answered "never".. not sure if this was just for people who are using AA (etc) or not.. |
The 'never' option kinda suggested to me it might be better in the main alcoholism forum. If you want me to move it to 12 step forum let me know OHP. D |
I have one meeting I love lined up for each day of the week but schedule changes happen and I have been known to take a nap or get "lost" at the bookstore so I put 3 to 5 but truthfully my average is closer to 6 these days Ps: it's not that I am so wonderful, I am just lucky that my home group meets 5 times a week and is just 3 blocks away from my house LOL |
Now that I have had the obsession to drink lifted from me. I attend 2-3 twelve step meetings per week. Not because I need them to stay sober. But because I want to see newcomers get well. I rarely see that at non-twelve step meetings. |
My first 5 years of sobriety I'd say I averaged 5 to 6 meetings a week. After that I've been kinda all over the place with meeting attendance. At times I went reguarly, sometimes not so reguarly. For a year or 2, I was averaging about a meeting a month, but would jump in from time to time and do a whole bunch in a row. I'm comfortable making 1 meeting a week, I've been making 2 meetings a week for over a year now, and I like to aim for 3 a week but I've got a very full schedule and it's not always possible. It's not necessary either. AA was a bridge back to life for me, and it's worked and still works wonderfully. I'd like to note that as much as I hated to admit it at the time, when I was not attending AA meetings consistently, I was also becoming a pretty miserable dude. I don't know what the magic is, but I don't question it anymore. When I attend reguarly, I'm a much happier and more grounded person. I look forward to my meetings. I didn't always feel that way. |
I do 5 meetings a week and I have almost 7 months. It seems about right to me. I do at least 1 BB and 1 Step Study meeting per week in that mix. |
2 meetings at AA home group and 1 Alanon meeting |
I was getting to 5/6 a week for a month or two. Dropped down slowly. Next thing I knew it was 2/3 a week. I went down to just my home group. Then some junk happened which caused me to take a break entirely. I put occasionally. I enjoy certain meetings and plan to go back but right now I want to see how I feel just living sober. So far it feels great. :) Just like drinking I wonder where I found time for so many meetings. |
I used to be addicted to alcohol, but that was almost two years ago now. I went to a few meetings during that first week of sobriety, but I haven't been to one since then. |
My wife and I did 90 meetings in 90 days, but have cut back and now I just go to about three meetings a week. Also, I meet with my sponsor once a week. I'm in a rural area, so I have to go a ways to get to meetings. |
when traveling I try to attend different meetings heading out to the desert for a week usually go to three early morning AA meetings out there (per week) they have a cool Alano Club that holds many meetings love watching the sun come up over the desert getting up early with a meeting to start my day I have met a lot of nice people out there in recovery when traveling I try to attend different meetings good for a change onehigherpower |
