I need to be in AA. I was so against it, but I went to a meeting tonight and heard something that really stuck from what I am going through. The guy at the meeting was talking about how he felt when he wanted to drink and he also wanted to stay sober at the same time. I have felt this way the past 4 days. It is a horrible feeling and whenever i think about doing the steps I feel better. I hear stuff that relates to me everytime I go. Who knows if I will go forever, but I am going to at least get a sponsor do the steps and give it a shot. Im sick of being miserable. I need someone to teach me how to have a sober happy life. Just wanted to put that out there on paper. Thanks

I'd recommend it. One of the things I love about meetings...I always hear what I need to hear. The steps are the solution...I can tell you....There is no way you can do those steps as laid out in the book...and not change. That's what I needed....Change.

It gets easier Ttal,
Great to have a bit of face to face support too.
Well done on 4 days. The hardest part is the initial quitting.
Keep it up!

I don't know what I need to hear. I go and listen with an open mind. I usually leave feeling motivated. It's where I can go and talk with other suffering alcoholics (or no longer suffering) in person.

Keep coming back!

Sounds like it speaks to you. Do what they suggest, wholeheartedly! Best of luck!

If AA resonates with you then do it fully. Get a sponsor. Do the steps. Help the newcomer. Good stuff there.

Once I walked in the door with an open mind, it didn't take long before I found that I love my meetings.

I NEED to hear stories -the newcomers' desperation, everyone's experience strength and hope, so on and so forth...and I need to hear it from people who know what it feels like to have an alcohol or drug addiction. I need to hear it from people who are crazy the same way I am.

You can go in looking for the differences, or looking for the similarities. Look for the similarities, and I promise it will be worth the effort.

Good luck!
