Thanks for shareing your realy good news with us...

I went to one today at noon...and we had free cake to celebrate a man's
first year of recovery. His wife was there too...and what joy was in their faces.

AA is an awesome adventure for me....glad you will explore the possibilities..

Good for you Mung....I have been reading your posts and you strike me as a very intelligent, well spoken fellow. Don't let your talents be washed away with booze and drugs.

Awesome news! I am in AA as well and my first meeting was OK but I was scared to death so I didn't say a word to anyone. My second meeting I introduced my self to a guy who had 25 years and that was the smartest move I ever made. Still sober !
