I went to a meeting the first couple weeks in the evenings when I would usually drink. It fills the time, you are with other sober people then you can go home go to bed and clock another day you got through than do it again the next day. One day at a time, friend💗

Spend your evening at meetings

I can’t, I live on an island that has only 2 meetings a week. Ugh. I personally know all of attendees. Makes it hard for me.

Hi Scott,

The people at those meetings that you know, and that know you, are your lifeline. You may feel strange because it’s a small town, but that also means chances are pretty good that they already know what shape you’re in.

“I may tell anyone that I’m an alcoholic, but I may not tell anyone that you are”

That is read at the conclusion of all of our meetings. And it is taken very seriously. When I see someone from my group at the grocery store or gas station I most certainly say hello, but I would never out them socially.

And the anonymity between sponsor and newcomer is sacred. I have complete faith that my sponsor would die before he shared my step work.
