Just want to try something different this time never did the steps and I always tried it on my own. I’m not a outgoing person that does meetings, but I’m gonna start doing daily check-in on here just to vent I hope y’all have a blessed day and another day sober

Welcome! Online is a great way to get community with some comfort for introverts (including myself in this). Here are some good threads to get you started

Welcome Colby,
I could never do it alone either. This place played a big part in my becoming sober. And I even go to meetings now. I never wanted to when I first started. So I get that.
@Misokatsu gave you some great threads. Especially that daily checkin thread. There’s always a good mix of new comers and old times and in between.
Good you’re here.
🙏🏻❤

I recently started going to these online zoom meetings. I like them a lot. There is a meeting every time I look. I have been listening all morning. You don’t have to participate. You can just listen. It’s an easy introduction to AA.
