"Friends" and judging me
Believe me Krispy the worry about going to your first meeting is far far far worse than actually being at your first meeting.
Screw up the courage to go. There is no expectations of you when you get there. It is the getting there that is the hard bit
Go for it and keep posting here. We're all with you and here for you just as we are for each other and just as the people in AA will be when you meet them

And an update: I did tell him almost exactly what I told you all -- and I think that made all the difference and seems a lot more supportive now. We will see how it unfolds in the future.
Thank you all so much. I can't imagine all this had I not found this site. I am blessed.
AA's are as a group the nicest most non threatening people I have ever met. The only thing they want is to see you get well.
I have never felt more at home anywhere than at an AA meeting

You sound a bit younger than me. I can tell you that over time friends come and go. Some remain. The ones I have had for nearly 30 years are friends that when they disagreed presented their view point but loved me enough to support my dicisions about my life. I have offered the same to them. Agree or disagree but we are friends. And that's what important.
Please follow your heart. If you continue to drink and bad things happen and then they move on and are not friends... Who losses. You.
Better the friend we lose than the friend that hurts us in the long run.
You sound like you are doing a good job at knowing what you need. Not a lot of us do. Congrats!

Time to find a new BFF? Ok, maybe that was a little harsh, but if you were trying to heal yourself for any other illness, would a true friend keep texting you over and over about how you SHOULDN'T be trying to get help? This is more about your friend missing out on drinking with you than you getting sober, me thinks.
