Went to my first AA meeting and it was the best thing. I didn’t feel alone and I was relating to everyone I was super emotional cried the entire time it felt like. But I’m so glad I made that first step.

Well done! Sounds like you needed a good cry too! You must of been exhausted after but also a weight lifted a little?

Welcome to TS @Ashleyjeff, so good to hear you had a positive experience at AA… I havnt been brave enough yet, I don’t know what it is but I’m just a little apprehensive about going… I did join a small support group before lockdown but that ended quickly and lockdown became a bluuur 
but hitting 40days sober today… I’m glad I seen your post and see how positive it was this has givin me the wee push I need … im lucky to have joined TS and I have been coming here for my support, even jsut reading posts has been great… good luck on your journey, you will smash it,

40 days that’s awesome!! I’m so happy for you, yes it was exactly what I needed! I went to another one today and will go again tomorrow. It literally stops me from going to the bar knowing I can go elsewhere to get my feelings out instead of hiding them by alcohol. When you do go let me know so I can read how it has helped you
