1 Day to one week
1 Day to one week
Folks, I have tried to connect with everyone I have ever known in AA, and they are all "busy". Don't blame them (I have done it myself too many times) but we have GOT to be there for one another.
I am saying that to myself as I think: it is what "hand to hand" is all about. G_d I hope I NEVER turn down a call!!
To all you "first dayers, or one weekers" let's try to be there. I could have used the support at the two-day mark, but I am just as guilty as anyone letting requests be "inconvenient". I hope I never do that again.

Good going on one week!
So sorry to hear you are having a rough time with AA...
I try to help out here at the Newcomers forum...
There are others here who can offer specific help with AA.

I'm in third day and i really think this forum pulled me through. You are right though, that one day to one week is a CRUCIAL period. Mostly I think encouragement and hope were needed but also I needed to be reminded and know intensely how BAD!!! withdrawal is and how much my depression and anxiety were strongly associated with my up and down period of use. Us early goers need those facts and memories to be deeply impactful because we often like to forget when we get in the clear and start feeling better.
