I haven’t been to a meeting in almost if not about over a year now. And lately I can’t help but think about maybe going back again and I really have no idea why I ever stopped. I usually do the zoom meetings because I don’t really have a way to getting to non zoom meetings at the moment… I believe in things being a sign for or of something and I keep wondering if me thinking about meetings and whatnot lately is some sort of sign….

I spent five years not going to meetings church etc. I was ready to kill myself. I found that without meetings a sponsor and the fellowship that the ISM part of my addition was ravaging my life. My character defects had no one to point them out. I lost my job, got arrested and almost lost my relationship because I was not working on me and my spiritual condition. When I did go back I found where I belonged. I am an alcoholic and I do have the character of an alcoholic/addict with all its defects. Not sure if this is a help. Don’t do what I’ve done.
For me, it’s continue to increase my spiritual life or drink, and I choose to increase my spiritual life
I saying yea on the sign I need my meetings gives me sober purpose

It’s been almost a year for me. Last meeting I received my one year chip. I’m going back to work on my emotional sobriety. I’m not drinking and that’s not much of an issue at this time but I’m looking to curb my reactions to my emotions that I’ve grown so attached to that lead me to drink. I decided I’m quitting negative thoughts and feelings I have towards myself and my emotions and thought there is no better place to start than AA, where I first started and found success
