My first AA Meeting
My first AA Meeting
Hello everyone,
Went to my First meeting!! Bought the big book today! We read a chapter in the book. Crazy how we can relate to the stories, like you wrote it. Anyways, it was pretty scaring, being in a room with people you don't know. When they ask people tell us what u think or how u relate to the chapter, I was feeling my anxiety kicking in. When it came all the way around to me, I told them my name and my addiction.. But I just broke down and cried.
I got some numbers, and I am going to go to some other meeting, Friday will be the women night, and Sunday will be the big inners.
Tomorrow will be my 7th day of being sober, hope I become over this anxiety. Do not like how this feels.

Dont feel discourage, My first AA meeting all I could do was stare at the door tryinging diligently not to stand up and sprint out of it. And I was alsoo shaking so bad I got more coffee on the floor than I did in my mouth. It subsided though and I got to where I looked forward to them. Hang in there!

Congratulations.
A few of the things I heard in my anxiety at my first meeting was “KEEP COMING and WE DON’T DRINK EVEN IF OUR A$$ FALLS OFF.”
That was a long time ago but true for today also.
BE WELL
