Has anyone one this site been, or still goes, to meetings?

I've been clean for almost 4 months, but it has been a struggle and it has nearly ended badly a couple of time... i think dumb luck more than anything was the reason i got through it.

But, i'm trying to find the courage to go to a meeting - it is on Wednesday and i am really nervous.

How hard was the first time going? Did lots of you put it off for a while?

its defiantly worth it to explore AA meetings! You will never know if you will take to it or not. I would keep an open mind about it and see how it goes.

Many people have strengthened their sobriety through AA.

Good luck!

Sobriety is all about a leap of faith, the unknown, but many can testify to not looking back!!

You can do this!!

I don't use AA, but many do, and if you feel it will help, then go for it.

I've been going to AA since October, I was nervous the first time but I was not put under any pressure to talk , I just sat and listened.

I went with an open mind and was glad that I did.

Now I've made a couple of friends there and I look forward to going.

You will be welcomed Gina, give it a go.

I was very nervous when going to my first meeting, then when I got there everyone was super nice. I had nothing to worry about. Don't put it off. It is too good a resource to pass up.

I just recently started AA meetings. There are always other people there for the first time so don't feel like you will stand out or anything. Very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

I went to a meeting at 7 am on my 5th day of sobriety and continued daily as I didn't want to be alone with me.

On day 12, I heard a woman share and instead of leaving, I walked to her and talked.

She guided me through those 12 steps on days 14 & 15 for relief.

Those 12 steps saved my life! I worked them again at 4 months, 8 months, and 18 months of sobriety.
