Heading into Double Digits

Day 9 is done, heading into day 10. I am convinced I have found the meanest AA group ever but will keep looking. Onward and upward!

Keep it up Lulu.
Try another group if you like, but tough love is best some times.

Congrats on moving on up!

I am sorry the meeting did not go well. Please do try another. It may take a couple times to find the place you are comfortable.

Thanks, GracieLou, I have been to this same meeting five times. The first one was great but only one of the women have returned. The other four times I have been ignored for the most part. Today I had a woman just flat out judge me because I will not accomplish 90 in 90. I did laugh at the irony on the way out since the topic was similarities.

I am sorry that happened to you. Thank goodness I have not had that experience. I have had people make comments that I felt were a little strong but they were not pointed directly at me.

AA is no different then many things. We have to find were we are comfortable. It is like moving to a new town and finding the right grocery store. Some we like and the people are helpful and at others we wander around looking for the bread isle.

I know you are right GracieLou but I have such a hard time walking into new places. Heading to that first meeting was so tough, I guess I am going to have to suck up my social anxiety disorder and try another meeting.

If you can find a beginners meeting that would be a could try. You can also call the local AA office and they may be able to suggest a newcomer meeting and even hook you up with someone to go with to help ease the stress.

Congratulations on your sober time.

Good idea to call the local helpline and find a different meeting.
