Finally
 
I've been hopping around this site since late last year. It's really a great place.
When I first got here I thought of the situation as me and them. These poor folks had to go to AA to stop. But I knew I could keep things under control with a little drink here and a little drink there.
Finally I have to be real about it.
There is no little drink for me.
And I can't do this alone. Which is a real drag for me because I hate sharing my business with others.
But tonight I'm going into AA and giving it a real effort.
You folks on this site helped me to realize that - so hat's off.
I've actually been to one meeting a few weeks ago. Just sat there and left the instant the meeting was over. Still - I didn't drink for four days after that. That was big.
So anyway, this is day one for me.
I don't know if I can do this - but I'll try.
I've learned the first 90 days are the toughest - hey I'm just hoping not to drink tonight!

I felt very much the same when I walked into my first NA meeting. It was me and them. I realised that we were all the same in the end. Committing to the program of NA has been the best decision I have ever made.

Standard 12 step recovery sayings:

It works if you work it.

Keep it simple

Keep coming back

One day at a time

Just for today

Keep it simple

Keep it simple

Keep it simple.


I wish you the best of luck in your recovery.

Natom.
