First AA meeting was a big trigger for me!

I sat in meetings hating everyone and everything for 18 months with several relapses before I got the point of it all. I kept hearing 'Keep coming back' and I did, again and again. Eventually the penny dropped and here I am today with 11 months clean and sober. When I first turned up I was 'different' from everyone else. I was young, and everyone else in these rooms were middle aged. My drug use was just a result of my wayward teenage years, or so I thought.
I struggled to find the similarities. But I did. I realised that I was the same. I was an addict, and an alcoholic. And that drugs were only the manifestation of my main problem which was addiction. I've gone into meetings loaded. I've left and got loaded and I've walked in after a relapse. But today I'm clean.
