:welcome to SR Caitlin and congratulations on taking the first step and going to AA. My friendly suggestion would be to check with your AA meeting if it is ok to take your child with you. A lot of meetings are kids friendly (my old home group used to keep coloring books and legos for the little ones).
I would suggest that you join the July class http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...-pt-2-a-3.html
you will get a lot of support from your peers who quit at the same time than you and are going through the same thing.
I also encourage you to join us at the 24hours club where we pledge to remain sober for the next 24hrs. Good way to hold ourselves accountable and Deeker does a terrific job facilitating it.

Hi Caitlin - welcome to SR :)
can you explain to your parents how important it is that you work on your recovery?

failing that can you pay for a sitter, or find a child friendly AA meeting?

Welcome young lady. Were here for you. Do wat it takes to quit drinking. AA will help you and so will we. Your baby needs a sober mommy. Hang in there girl.
