First AA Meeting
Went to my first ever AA meeting today. It being a Sunday, I thought more would be in attendance. Very small group, the leader, an old-timer, a court appointee, and myself. An alcoholic friend had said she would go with me, but bailed out at the last minute. BF, who is 3 months sober, said he'd been sick all w/e. I read the promises outloud to the room, but I don't think I remember when I do that. I'm just reading, not listening. Yes, I was asked if I could do this, and I did. I shared a lil of my story, but was crying the whole time. I will try another meeting. I'm told there is more attendance on weekdays, and the Sat. breakfast. I did walk up and get a chip! 24 hrs. I'll wait til I meet that 24 hrs before I go again. It hasn't been today!

Congrats on taking steps, even baby steps! You'll have to let me know how the AA thing goes. It has never appealed to me, but seems to have worked (and is still working) for many folks out there.
How are you doing this week?
