First ever AA meeting
I posted under the Forum "Alcoholism" but wanted to drop a post here too for the people who like me are "newbies" to this whole soberiety thing.
It has been a month for me sober now and after many words of encouragement from folks up here I finally gathered up enough courage to go to my very first ever AA meeting.
All I can say is that I am SO glad I went. Ya'll can read all about it in I finally went and did it... MY FIRST AA meeting
So, THANK YOU to everyone who has helped me along. I hope this encourages someone else to conquer your fears and go to your first AA meeting too.

A lot of us have been richly rewarded by going to AA.
Where else are you going to see a biker and a doctor, a judge and a drug dealer sitting talkin recovery?
I went to AA and found a better class of people

It's not a written rule Sugah, but lots of people find it a great help.
over here, I find that people who have been to rehab do that, and it sure seems to help them!
I did not go to a detox or Rehab ( never knew they existed til I got in the rooms) lol, but I did a huge number of meetings anyway, cos I grew to love thwem, still do
IMO the more meetings the better in early sobriety

According to some expertts on behavior...
it takes 90 days to change a destructive habit into a positive one.
That is why rehabs came out with the timeline.
It is not AA,
I think the AA saying...
"Meeting Makers Make It" is true.
The 1st year I averaged 1 a day.
My idea was that...
I drank everyday so....
