One week sober.

120. Congratulations on first step

Here’s what worked for me. I found AA meetings that I liked and felt comfortable in. Not all AA meetings are the same and i found one’s that seemed to help. Just remembering this is one day, sometimes one minute, at a time. If I craved alcohol, i just waited 20 minutes and it passed. I talked to fellow alcoholics because they understood.

Sixteen years later, i am still an active member of AA. i always feel better after a meeting now which was not true at all when I first went. At first, I just thought of AA as my medicine that helped treat my disease. That worked for me until i found a place in AA.

By the way, there are lots of great AA meetings online. Since covid, I now attend some online meetings but there is nothing like an in person meeting.
