The first drop of water starts to fill the sponge. Keep going and soak it in. Every meeting is a drop of water. Next thing you know, your sponge is full.

I didn’t know how to feel tbh, was trying to soak a lot of stuff in. Going back tonight though…

My first meeting I was distracted. I was uncomfortable with the procedure. I didn’t know anyone. I didn’t follow the readings because there were no books during covid. But once ppl started talking I felt at home. They told my story. They felt my feelings. I went back and was more comfortable with the run of show.

I remember my first meeting so well. The first words spoken at that meeting I will never forget “if you are an addict or an alcoholic there is no situation that one drink or one hit won’t make worse.” It was that moment I understood what my problem had been for years years.

You'll find out that you're really not much different than everybody else there. People will welcome you with open arms. Keep going back!
