My first AA meeting.

I went to my first AA meeting today, at day 4. I was nervous but confident in my plan. I’d always feared the thought of doing so. But I went. I walked in and I took a seat. It was easy. I introduced myself and only shared that it was my first time there. I accepted a white chip. I was welcomed. I met a lot of great people and heard a lot about the importance of service. I received a list of numbers from the ladies in the room and more sincere greetings and introductions as I left. I am looking forward to going back tomorrow.

I hope everyone had a great day, thanks for always being here for me!

All of us in AA are grateful that you went to a meeting. Keep going back--it works if you work it!

I avoided going to my first AA meeting for a long time.

Then after I went to one, I came home and thought "I should have done that years ago."

Good for you! That takes courage.

Nothing to be scared of, was there?
