I am grateful for AA Meetings. Even for just the hour meeting, I can be surrounded by individuals who truly understand, and are broken like me. Individuals who make me feel I’m not alone, even if it’s just for this moment.

The meeting after the meeting is great too. Some of the best conversations happen after the meeting. You’re broken at the moment, but you will mend if you keep coming back. I no longer consider myself broken. I would say I’m “real”.

That is a great way to look at it! I’m still trying to figure out who I am. What my passions are, and find my identity after using alcohol as a coping mechanism for years.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I feel at home and safe in meetings. We are all works in progress.
We are only works in progress if we are actually making some progress.
However, sometimes my best progress is simply not fücking something up even more.
