Talking went to AA meeting

I made my first AA meeting tonight. I could relate to everything said. I was a bit nervous but it went well. I plan to keep going.

I think AA ruined my drinking career!

Glad you related and hope you got something out of it. Keep coming back.

I was so nervous when I walked into my first meeting. I go daily at this point in my recovery and always helps me feel better. Someone always says just what I need to hear.

Congrats! That's the biggest step! I'm 12 days alcohol free and feel like a new person. Keep it up, you'll soon feel better than you can ever remember

Awesome, Tom, so happy for you.

When I found the rooms of AA, even though I had never been there before, I knew I was home.

There's also a 12 step alcoholism board on SR, you're welcome there anytime too.

Hey, that's great! I've been to two so far, and will go to my 3rd this weekend. I was nervous too, but I'm so glad I did. Let's keep it up.

It's the world's largest group that nobody wants to join. Good that you had the normal response to listening to the people there. Hope you picked up some numbers to call before you drink again, and if not you know the AA line is always answered by a member.

You'll never have to go through going to your first one again, and the next time you attend you'll already know some faces.
