Hi everyone, its been 1 month and 5 days i have been sober. I just decided it was enough. With that said it was not easy. I still have cravings. Some days are better. I literally had to cut off friends, places and things that triggers me... i came this far alone with source, my higher self, chocolates and the gym. I just cant seem to get myself to my go to my first meeting. Not sure why. My first step was joining this app. Anyone else found it hard to go their first meeting
.?
For a couple of days, but once I jumped in it was great. All that they’re to do is support you and offer guidance.
Thanks almost there🙏🏽
U will be welcomed whole heartedly to any meeting u show up at. U made it this far but with NA or AA there's so many supportive people as well as outings and events
Yeah, I just have to make that step.. thanks
Congratulations one day at a time baby steps
Congratulations. I was nervous at first but literally THE MOMENT I sat at my first meeting I felt like I was home. You are welcomed and will have a whole new family. Just like you I had to leave all my past just where it was to start fresh. But by the time I left that first meeting I had 14 new numbers in my phone and true support. It’s perfectly okay for you to take it at whatever pace works for you. Just know you’re not alone EVER! If one day at a time seems to much take to one hour at a time. Just keep walking forward.
Honestly thank you. Really. absolutely 1 hour at a time indeed
I found it hard too! First, I was still grappling with the thought that I had an alcoholic mind. Second, I was nervous about walking through the door, where is the meeting? Am I in the right place? One time I walked into a church preschool😱. But even though I was embarrassed at first, all I have found in those rooms is love and support. It’s been critical in keeping me sober for almost 3 years now!
I could imagine. One thing I know is that I have reach as far as I can go on my own, it's time to reach out.. one day at a time. I can see myself going to a meeting so that gives me comfort.. Thank you
Oh GAWD I remember my 1st AA meeting. I was very uneasy. My biggest fear was coming across someone who I arrested months prior.
Hello nice to meet you
Meetings will be hard the first little bit but it does get easier. I suggest really listening and find a sponsor, once I found a sponsor and started the steps things started getting easier. I still have cravings time to time but that’s when I reach out to my sponsor and hit a meeting, if you ever need someone to talk to my inbox is always open.
Great job!
Thank you
We love you in the rooms till you can love yourself❤️
