Attended my first AA meeting Friday night and I think it went pretty well. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The speakers were inspirational. I plan to attend another one Monday night. Best of all, 3 days sober!

They are rather odd at first aren't they, Beth? I was so sensitive and was always on the brink of crying.
Congrats on your 3 days!!!!
The 3 - 5 day period is so dangerous. So absolutely dangerous cuz, most likely, you're done with withdrawals and having conversations with yourself about how one or two or maybe even four ( at the MAX!!!!!!!) couldn't hurt...
We know those conversations, Beth. I know them. All too well. Hang in.

That is wonderful!! So are your 3 days of sobriety!

I'm so glad that you found the speakers inspirational - that is a huge part of AA in the beginning, imo. The sharing meetings are good too - there is something so cleansing about sharing - don't know what it is but it sure feels good.
