I just want to be better and I feel like if I don’t go my therapist will just give up on me
You do this for you. 100%. And if you want, we can come with you. And be with you at least till the meeting starts. Take your mobile and leave TS open. You won’t be alone.

There are on line or zoom meetings. You can lurk on until you get a feel for it. No one has t know your there.
There’s plenty on zoom. intherooms.com and find it very helpful when in person meetings are not available.

It can be super simple to go to a meeting. There’s a Meeting Guide app that can easily help you find a meeting nearby. Just about any time and place. Ya just pick one and go check it out.
You might like an Open discussion meeting or Women’s meeting to get started.

If you’re feeling up to it, you can call your local AA hotline and they can find someone to go with you. That’s what I do when I’m traveling and it’s really quite fun!

How do I make you a contact?
Going to AA was the scariest thing I have ever done. It was also the best. I give this board and AA full credit for saving my life.
Let folks know that you are new. They will welcome you with open arms. When they tell you to call them - they mean it! I am thrilled when other folks in recovery call me. It reminds me why I made the decision to get sober.
You can do this!

I’m in the zoom just scared to start >.<
The meeting started already >.<
I panicked and I left when it was my turn to speak why am I like this ):
Ha. If you try again, it’s totally OK to pass, or say you’d just like to listen. No one has to share if they don’t wanna.
