Alcoholica Anonymous?


Question:
Okay I go for my first meeting tomorrow since I have been drinking a bottle of wine a night for the past 3 months. I used to drink socially until I realized that my back pain goes away when I drink so I ran with it. I also have depression issues and drinking perks me up unlike any antidepressant but lasts only so long. If you have experience with AA please let me know what to expect at tomorrows meeting. Thanks.

Answers:
Sorry, but Valium is a drug my friend takes occasionally.
It doesn't appear to be habit forming.
Exercise may help but you don't sound like your prob is so bad!
Best wishes.
Expect a group of men and women who will be supportive and very glad to have you amoung them. You will hear many suggestions like 90 meetings in 90 days, get a sponsor, work the steps, etc. Dont worry about any of that, just speak to a woman after the meeting and she will explain to you what you need to do to stay sober. AA works. I am coming up on 9 months, and I have am and alcoholic and a drug addict. AA is a wonderful 12 step program that has enabled me to be in recovery. It is an experience you will not want to miss. Good luck and God bless.
