welcome and good luck to you!!! It can feel a little odd at first, but I hope you'll find something - even the smallest little thing - that calls you to return.

AA has been a tremendous help to me in sobriety. I don't go all the time or every day, but I am deeply grateful it is there as one of my tools.

Just one suggestion. If you get a chance, tell folks it's your first meeting. Tell us how it goes!

Looking forward to hearing about your experience.
