I attended my first ever AA meeting this morning. I had been crying morning and night for three days feeling at the point of panic for most of it. I had reached crisis point.
It had taken me weeks to muster the mettle to go. It was nothing like I expected or felt daunted by. I completely related to each person who shared. I came away with so many hugs, smiles, kind words of encouragement from that room, full of people just like me, people who had made it… from all walks of life.
It was like a massive warm embrace that took away my troubles whilst I was there, people had brought along their cute dogs, and it was like being in someone’s living room full of old wise friends.
I’m so grateful and wanted to share, I don’t have anyone else suitable to share this with. I hope I can continue and be successful like they are… today, I received hope I didn’t think was possible for me today. And I just might have been given enough motivation to attend the next meeting tomorrow.
I wanted to share my shocking surprise pleasure of the day!
Anyone awake please share your thoughts with me.
