Day 1 again
Back to day 1. I've had a horrible time staying on the wagon. I've been drinking heavily for 20 years. Tomorrow I'm going to my first AA meeting and I'm quite nervous but I can't do this on my own. Definitely powerless. Here's to a last ditch effort at hope
CJ - I think going to AA is a great idea. For me, I don't necessarily agree 100% with everything about AA - but, it is an amazing group of people who understand what it is like to be alcoholic..... There was really nowhere else I could go and say "I can't stop drinking!" People there smiled and nodded their heads, and said "yep, I understand."
It was also important for me to see others who were successful at not drinking. It IS possible to have a happy, sober life. It IS possible for ME also!
I am so grateful for SR also. It has been a godsend. Great people here. And, so many different approaches to recovery!

I promise you, the sobriety road isn't as bad as the path we had before. I did it and my life is turning around, I've woke up.
Get some life out of your life while you can.

Going to my first AA meeting in a little over an hour and I've got to say I'm quite nervous. Showing vulnerability in front of complete strangers is something I'm very uncomfortable with, even if they've all come from the same place.
