Went to 1st AA Meeting Tonight

Hi -All

It went well. It was in my small town that I live in. I felt very, very welcome. Going to my next one tomorrow. They said go to one every day for 90 straight days and I hope I can do, although I do travel alot for work.

I got a copy of the big book. Will start reading tonight.

Congratulations on your first, 4.....I'm so glad it was a good experience for you. I fought AA for a long time (because of my introvertedness), but today I believe it is my lifeline. There is a saying: "Meeting-makers make it", and although, making meetings isn't all there is to sobriety....it's a darn good start.

Take care...and hope to see you here soon.

Good for you 4WWWW. Here is a link to find meetings everywhere in the US and Canada when you travel.

the more you go the more you will get out of it.
and on those days when you really dont want to go.
GO anyway.

Trust me, it all pays off if you keep coming back

Hey 4
hang in. dont let traveling stop that, like said by someone there are meetings everywhere. for your record, if you stop going you will have a gap in your recovery. Just my experience...keep going if you can.
