I host an AA meeting and had a slip 2 days ago...
 

I host this meeting have gone back to alcohol - not hard core but you know the insanity.

I'm going to host the meeting and I will not lie about being sober - but I'm not sure I'm absolutely ready to confess to it. I will if asked. I like the people quite a bit - all old timers.

Is it wrong to still host and I should notify the home group chair person? I of course will not be drunk or have drank anything. I'm a pretty mild drinker that only drinks at night and not even that much (which always gets me to relapse.)

Anyhow - thanks for your ideas.

Have you talked to your sponsor about it? My homegroup has a "rule" of 30 days of sobriety to chair a meeting. I'm not sure what "hosting" entails...

To thine ownself be true.. but, I personally would feel pretty disingenuous chairing a meeting if I went back out. Rigorous honesty, friend.

I think you know what the right thing to do is :)
sharing your struggle, and being scrupulously honest, may just help someone else?

Yes - Chair. Thank you - I'll be up front at the meeting - let them know time to get someone else.

Thanks again.

Yep - Thank you - I'll be upfront and state what happened and why I failed.

Thanks again folks.

Good on you - secrets feed our addictions...coming clean is the right thing to do :)

Thanks again folks - the meeting went really well. Tough but tons of love.

Great job, man.

Glad to hear it went well rebell. The right choices are not always the easy choice, but in the end it's always worth it.
