This is a first for me, not quite sure how to do this. Have arranged to go to my first AA meeting on tues. First time I,ve even accepted this problem I have. just looking for others, to be honest! Have read all the things from other people and feel there is hope! Danna
There is hope, and much more...A.A. is much more than just not drinking and drugging. It is a pathway to peace and serenity. Comfort within our own skin. True confidence. All we have to do is go to a meeting until we find the one we feel has GOOD sobriety (time meens little)- it is a certain wisdom that we see. And simply ask for help, i.e., will you be my sponsor?. If they say that they cannot-do not be discouraged. Ask another. It may seem uncomfortable to ask. Do it anyway. It is a gift that we deserve. And the only way to go through the steps; and THAT is the only way to obtain and keep the prize!
You are not alone, M.

There IS hope, Dana. Stick around. You will meet lots of pretty nice folks here. Our goal is to offer our experience, strength and hope to each other, in our desire to stop drinking. Many of our group have succeded for quite a few years now.
There is hope and you will find lots of it in the meetings of AA. For me, I couldn't stay sober without attending regular meetings. I always gain so much strength and hope from meetings. They are filled with some really super people who will help you as much as you want.
Please keep posting and letting us know how things are going for you, won't you?
Take care,
Carol
