Feel like I've lost a good friend, going to my first AA meeting tonight. I don't know what my future holds....this is all overwhelming!

Welcome to the Forum Rmmcm!!

Making changes to our life can be a scary, because it's the unknown, but you can get through this!

You'll find loads of support here on SR too!!

Welcome Rmmcm, try not to look too far into the future, just one step at a time.

Dont be ashamed or scared. Be proud. That first step takes a lot of "guts". Be optimistic about your future. It will get exponentially better.

Hello and welcome.
No one knows what the future holds. But if I had kept on the same path I was on while drinking, the outcome would have been pretty predictable. Same with a lot of us.
I didn't lose a friend, I lost my worst enemy and found my true self.
Congratulations on admitting you may have a problem, that's a big step. So is going to an AA meeting. You have nothing to fear by going, so don't be intimidated. There will be folks there just like you, all for a common cause. There is strength in that.
Best to you.

Alcohol is not your friend, alcohol is poison. Good riddance, and best of luck to you.

Welcome, Rmmcm

If you stick with your 'friend', you can probably guess what your future will hold. If you stick with sobriety, you might just write a new one

I'm glad you joined us.

Thank you to everyone who commented....the support here is great! Going to another meeting tonight...hopefully it will be smaller....last night's meeting was packed and overwhelming. Several women came up to me after the meeting and gave me their phone numbers...soooo much support!!!

It is rough early on, but things will not stay this way! The anxiety will ease up and you'll begin to relax and feel thankful you're getting free of it. Be proud of yourself for taking these steps and reclaiming your life.
