Thanks for sharing your experience Dave. I'm not going to lie, I wasn't a fan of AA after one meeting .... or even after 10! It took me a while to get it or 'pull my head out' ..... saved my life too!

Congrats!

Personally, I really like AA. I used to think it was a cult. Haha. Not a cult, just some cool ex- drunks trying to find ways to stay sober. Some really work hard and they are the ones to follow. I have a sponsor now just kind of stuck on steps but I keep going back. I hope you will too!
