well, I am going to my first AA meetings
Hi all, I went twenty something days(maybe 26 or 27). Went to my old town and had a couple of drinks. Felt it and really bad.
Went a week. and this saturday had 4 more and hated every minute of it. Sat down to play a couple of hands of poker in AC and met a guy. Been in aa for a while and lives a town away.
I don't something about it, I don't know, but I am off of my first aa meeting today. Why not, I definetly do not want to be having this discussion 10 years from now.
I will let you all know.
Thanks

Mate, like other people here are saying - best thing I ever did. I think that experience of giving up, and actually walking through the doors, is a profound and moving life-changing thing for a lot of people.
It's a journey, brother. Let us know how it goes, and your thoughts on the whole deal.

just got back from my first meeting
Some of you may know from my previous posts, how relectant I was about going.
I really felt that meeting my new frined who walked me into the meeting made it alot easier. I am really lucky in alot of ways.
I am still a bit dazed by the experience. But I am failrly certain that I have a drinking problem.
I haven't had a drink since saturday and I still feel it. Or is just in my head?
I just don't want to drink anymore.
Now, the hard part of staying sober and finding new ways to spend my time.
I drank and used so long that I never knew what life is without being Fxxxed up, or waiting for the next time to party.
"always knew this day would come- just didn't know it would be today"

What has AA done for me?
Everyone of these have come true
(From the 1st Edition of the book Alcoholics Anonymous)
^*^*^*^*^
Promises
^*^*^*^*^
"We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone,
we will see how our experience can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things
and gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle
situations which used to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us
what we could not do for ourselves."
An awesome adventure!
