First AA meeting.
I went. Very awkward at first. Kinda cool hearing others talk about things I relate to. And inspiring to here those that have been sober a long time. At the end of the meeting I was kinda like we'll I might go to another one. Maybe.
Then something pretty incredibly happened after the meeting. I was circled by these strangers who were giving me their numbers and hugging me. WOW it actually felt really good.

On behalf of everyone who goes to AA meetings, I want to thank you for showing up at your first meeting. It really males our day to see another person shown a route to recovery!

I was a nervous wreck. I tried every way possible to get out of going. And I wanted so bad to hate it. But it was honestly the most empowering moment I've had in this journey.
I remember coming out of my first AA meeting the first thing I done was hug the guy who brought me I thought I was in the wrong place these were clean happy nicely dressed people some in work uniforms I wasn't expecting the kindness the simple hello from a stranger who could tell I was a nervous wreck i was offered tea & biscuts
I remember on the way home I was happy that I knew what was wrong with me it was a revelation on the other hand mrs sw cried while on the phone to my sister saying she had no idea I was alcoholic
Il always credit AA & the guy who took me there he's more a big brother than a sponser these days still I deeply respect him & I am still in contact with him today
Congratulations Vendetta
