I went about 4x a week. There are a lot of successful people who did 90 in 90 days.

There were some meetings that weren’t for me at my home group. I learned to love Mondays Wednesdays Fridays and Sundays.

I recommend trying different meetings around you and different days/times. As you build relationships, some meetings will be more comfortable than others.

To start a new habit takes 30 days. I went to approx 4-5 meetings a week. Some days I would go to two meetings. Pretty much a meetings on the days you would have had a drink. For me I drank every day. It was necessary to start new habits and break old ones.

My home group is weekly. For the most part, that's been very comfortable for me. It is recommended to do as many as possible in the first 30 days though.

Thanks for the advice. There are lots of meetings not far from my house.

I’m lucky in southern California there are literally dozens within a 10 mile drive. I feel bad for those who live in small towns where there are none.

Rust, how was that first meeting?

In the beginning I went to at least 1 meeting a day for several reasons including that it was one place I knew I was safe. I did not want to drink so I went to the one place I knew there was no temptation as often as I could. Now, years later, I go everyday because I honestly enjoy the meetings and working with my friends on a solution. I'm inspired by other alcoholics getting honest and trying to become better people. Also, I recommend getting a service position right away and attending as many AA functions as you can.

Jeff, it went awesome! I'm so glad I went.

So happy for you!

I personally hated meetings. I went to inpatient rehab a year ago today and they made us go for 30 days. After I got out I never went to one and a year later I’m doing great. I know some people that love them. I think it’s whatever works for you. If you want to go everyday you should, if you don’t want to.. don’t. Do what keeps you motivated to stay sober. I found it more motivating to get on forums like this and support and talk to each other.

Thanks Charr2, I am going to meetings and this forum. Both are helping me. I'm glad there is a place like this which helped me even work up to actually going to a meeting. Its nice also late at night when I'm struggling and no meetings.
