I am new and don't know some of the lingo. I am not sure I need to be here but I would like to be sober for 30 days in a row. I'm doing ok and better then usual but I still have the occasional weekly slip. Perhaps by sharing with others I can gain strength.

It's a one day at a time deal, queen. If I can make it to bed tonight without taking a drink, I can wake up tomorrow and do it all over again. It's worked for me for the last 2 1/2 years, but I couldn't have done it without AA.

Welcome, glad you're here and I hope you keep coming back.

Hi queen.
You dont need to know lingo to be here.
Glad you are here.

hi Queen,

Welcome! glad you're here with us.

I tried AA and ran into some very werid cultish folks. They frightened me and I do not want to go back. One went as far as to call me a juicer in my community.

(i go to alanon, and some of the meeting groups i like more than others. you might want to just try another aa meeting, before you make a decision?)

I worry about getting my face out there as I have a very good business in the area. I actually may have lost a client over that rumor.

hmmm, that's too bad. i find my groups really honor the privacy of folks.

queen

Maybe at some point I will go out of my area. Right now I will stay on here.

Welcome!

I felt the same way about my first AA meetings, thinking they were some sort of religious cult. Then I learned that I was the one with the closed mind. You might try some different meetings, they're not all alike.
