AA what a life changer

Keep going. Keep putting your ass in the seat and your head will follow.

I never atttended my second meeting and it took 7 years of losing everything Ive ever loved and nearly dying to get back.

My life today, is 95% down to AA. It honestly does work miracles. I dont believe in God, but I believe in the power of 20+ fellow alcoholics coming together in a room and keeping each other sober 24 hours at a time.

The friends I’ve made and what I’ve been shown in AA, money cant buy. I’m not just sober. I’m living an amazingly happy sober life after alcohol.

That’s definitely how I started. It’s not about the number of bottles. It’s about how much power it had over you.

Congratulations.

I’ve only gone to one meeting. It took me 2 years to go and I was scared out of my mind. But already I feel like I’m looking forward to the next one. I’m excited to see what AA has to offer. But I’m committed to give it a good honest go.

@nick_1985 thank you for sharing, that’s inspiring. And I agree with everything you said. I love the people I have met because they can relate to me and most generally what they have been through is worst than me
But yes I as well hit rock bottom after losing both of parents, getting divorced and then losing my kids that’s when I knew there was nothing left but me and you can’t truly get help until you really want it for yourself

You’ve got this. Just following the suggestions the AA group gives and stay on here you’ll be fine. Just one day at a time. That’s all we have over day this day. Deal with tomorrow when it comes. You’ve got this.
