Hey SR!
I made it to my first AA meeting and for once in my life I feel like I'm heading in the right direction.
Feeling thankful and excited for the future

Good work on taking that step! Whatever program you chose, building a support plan and network can be a big help

Well, that makes up for yesterday's "flop." You get a gold star for not giving up. That's the kind of dedication you need to break the cycle of addiction.

I'm so happy it was a success, Sweetd.

I'm glad the other disaster didn't cause you to give up on the idea.

Great news! I'm glad this experience was better than the wedding reception fiasco you posted about!

AA is awesome! You should be proud of doing whatever’s necessary to get/stay sober!

Good for you!

Great start!

If that particular AA fellowship doesn't float your boat, don't be afraid to visit others.

Well Done for deciding to go to a meeting first meetings are a bit scary at first, but everyone there is there for the same reason, they understand what you are going through.
