Hiya StayinAlive! Welcome to Sober Recovery!!

Here's the Greater Vancouver Area AA link;

Don't be nervous. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I believe there are a few members of the forum that might be in your nearby area.

Thanks for the link......went to the meeting. Turned out it was for men.....so......they let me in lol. They were very compasionate and willing to help. We coverd step one cuz it was my first meeting eveir. It was interesting that each of there stories had the same theme. So i could relate to every one of them.. They all never heard of SB though. I gues i have to educate them

......
I was wondering, does everyone use the big book? Is there other good books, ......I asked about other books and they said the big book is all you need....Hmmmmmmmm???

Hi StayinAlive...keep going to meetings and you'll keep stayin alive. There's other books besides the Big Book. AA publishes a number of books but for someone new to the fellowship you should concentrate on the BB from the preface to page 164. That's the recipe for sobriety. I wish you well.
God bless
