I don't believe that you just have to go to meetings to make it. There are many things about meetings one must do to make it. Follow the 12 step program, not your program. Put someone else in charge - a sponsor or God as you understand him, and take direction. Begin working the steps immediately. Read the Bib Book, the 12 and 12 - go to special mts. Listen - sometimes more than share - get outside help if needed. Give yourself a chance. One day at a time. The Serenity Prayer - when you want to drink or use, say the prayer and call someone Before you pick up ( one of my big mistakes - afraid to call people) please don't maake the same mistake. Gratitude, humility. Stay on the beam. All things learned in the program. Go to different meetins. Choose a strong support roup, not necessarily people you like, but people you respect, that have recovery and LIVE recovery. At first all I could do was survive. Things do get better, then hard, then ok, then great, then a big obstacle - and you get through to the other side - a miracle - wow. RECOVERY,
