Hi I have been drinking and cocaineing regularly for last 6month. It makes me lose control of who I am and am here to start sober again. Any advice welcome.

For most of us, it scared us. Let’s face it, you dont roll into your first AA meeting feeling all that great.
Getting clean and sober is about fixing why we drink and use. Most of us cant do that by ourselves. Until we get honest with ourselves, it’s tough. If not AA, something! It’s going to take getting out of your comfort zone.
Thank you that makes complete sense .
I will have to get brave and make it happen.
I want to be a good dependable father and boyfriend
Aa meeting tomorrow at 7pm nearby im saying I’m going on here so I can’t back out.
What to expect ?
They are always so happy when a new person walks in, they all were new once too.
Im glad you’re here, Neil! 🙋
Bravest thing you will ever do is ask for help. We will be here for you
Walk in, find an open chair. They will ask if anyone is here for the first time. If you want, raise your hand and simply say your name. Then set back and take it all in. My first meeting was the best thing I ever did. I walked in scared, embarrassed, afraid…walked out feeling good
Please let us know how the meeting went. You’re doing an awesome thing!
And welcome to TS
AA saved my life and gave me a better one ,cant ask for anything more, wish you well
Just take it easy, one foot in front of the other. Theres no right or wrong way getting clean/sober the important thing for me was listening to others that paved the way before me.
