I have been sober for over five years and this still happens to me, although anymore its more a repeat of memories I already relived at some or another.
It’s my 2nd day sober and going to AA for the first time today. Im affraid of having to go through this whole process but I rather be affraid and try it than keep living in shame and regret. It’s so awesome to find a comunity like this one.
@SoberGuyUSA Five years ! Wow.
What startles me most is how vivid the emotions are, like they’re being lived for the first time. Had a little cry [in public] the day I posted this, not my best moment ha X
@Danny82 Hi Danny, welcome !! Well done on your two days
And thanks for the reply. How did your first meeting go ? If you’ve been yet - sorry - can’t work out what time zone you’re in based on the time of the reply - I’m in the UK so just waking up X
Let us know how the aa meeting goes!
Thank you so much for the response. I’m from Guatemala, the meeting was such a humbling experience, beautiful, for the first time in my life I felt like I was with people that can really understand me and I can understand them. I was crying on the ride back from AA because my heart was filled with hope that I will finally be able to rid myself of this evil that has caused me nothing but heartache and suffering for more than 20 years.
@Kipper being honest this has been such an emotional experience, I felt like I belonged there, nobody knew me but everyone welcomed me. Cant wait to go back again tomorrow.
This is fantastic news. Keep attending them, keep an open mind and youll do great! Im so happy for you buddy.
Hi Danny, sounds like a powerful experience. I’m so glad it was positive. Awesome. X
