Are you thinking of going to a meeting?

Marryoneorbecomeone · 09/12/2018 23:44

Hello! Dry 3 years this week and I did it with AA

MissConductUS · 10/12/2018 19:01

I'm 24 years sober but I stopped going to AA meetings after around year 5. It's a great organization and I'm sure I wouldn't have made it otherwise.

Well done you lot - I used to work with a group.

Does anyone know of the US version is the same?

Does anyone know of the US version is the same?

AA started in the US and we all have the same Big Book, so I would suspect it's pretty much the same.

Well, you all probably have more tea and less coffee and you call the cookies biscuits. Do you have day old donuts at meetings in the UK? Grin

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/12/2018 19:13

We used to supply nice bikkies and a hell of a lot of sugar for the coffee.

I needed so refer someone in the US but my only reference is Fight Club.

They can find a meeting on here:

www.aa.org/pages/en_US/find-aa-resources

and just show up. Even Brits are welcome! Grin

It’s for a yank... it sure if they are quite ready to take the leap (before I kick his arse).

MissConductUS · 10/12/2018 19:31

Oh well, it's for a yank then. Hmm

They all need a good arse kicking if you ask me. Smile

Seriously, finding a meeting here is pretty easy in most areas. It's getting his arse in a chair that's the hard part.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/12/2018 19:31

Tell me about it. Stubborn as a mule!

MissConductUS · 10/12/2018 19:48

Denial - it's not just a river in Egypt.
