My name is Noah, and I'm 34 years old. Up until a few months ago I hadn't had a drink since 2009. However, a few months ago I convinced myself I had everything under control, and I could kick back and have a drink with friends without letting it get out of control. I was wrong.
I started heading right down the same old path as before where my drinking became the priority, and starting getting out of control again. Previously, all plans were planned around my drinking, I even became anxious at the thought of not having enough alcohol... in short, it began to take over my life.
Clearly, it isn't under control and I'm starting to think that maybe an AA group would help me control/manage the issue. As I've never been to, or participated in anything like this I had a couple of questions I was hoping somebody could help me with.
1) Is there a good/recommended group for for 1st timers in the Conshohocken or King of Prussia area on a Monday or Tuesday?
2) What can I expect as a first timer, new to a group?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and/or answer this...
