Chill dude. You need to do more and think less. AA is a program of action. In the beginning, if you are like me, all you could do was show up at meetings. Like someone told me once, I could only handle one emotion at a time and an emotion of gratitude was perfect for resentful me.

That was the most I could do, somewhere along the line what I heard began to sink in my thick skull.

I will give you one simple saying and concentrate on this for the next 90 days of your sobriety.

"Meetings makers make it."

That is all you need to know for now. Others will give you better sayings, but never forget mine.
