Question about AA meetings...
I'm sure this is a stupid question, but here it goes anyways... If a meeting is labled as "closed", does that mean they only want the "regular" meeting attendees there? I'm assuming it allows for anyone who feels/knows that they are an alkie (me), just non-alkie "visitors". Is that the case? Will be my first meeting attended ever.... Thanks.

Thanks all. I definitely have the desire to quit. Been trying on my own the past few months with only limited success...
Things came to a head this past weekend... What kind of a-hole decides to go on a bender during his Kids' 3 day soccer tournament? I didn't get in trouble or do anything stupid (aside from watch the games drunk), but my wife is at her wits end... Big argument when she confronted me about it when we got home... I could lose everything that means anything...
Thanks again for the info.

anytime you say that sentence, I didn't get in trouble or do anything stupid
say the word YET after it, it helped me at the beginning
after a year and a half I can say I am finally glad to put my feet on the floor each morning and go about my day.

That is excellent. Good for you. Takes guts.
The last meeting I was at, there was an old dude. There was only a minute left to share and there were a lot of newbies. This guy didn't really share, but he said, look, its hard work being drunk all the time, and it's for nothing. It's hard to be sober, but it's worth it. It's worth it! Stick with it. It's worth it!
It wasn't a huge speech, but coming from this guy it meant a lot to me. Stick with it. It's worth it. Being drunk is worth nothing!
