Nice to see you haven't lost everything (humor) like I had to . . . .
"AA" meetings are NOT A.A.
They ARE places where people, like me, that DO what the first 164 pAAges of Alcoholics Anonymous (=AA) sAAy we DO go to try to cAArry Our MessAAge.
If anyone tells you different - RUN away from them or perhaps hurt them if there is no other way of shutting them up.
75 years ago, 50% of the folks that came to AA and really tried - remained sober the REST OF THEIR LIVES. Another 25% went back out, came back and died SOBER! (Others showed improvement)
I'm believing that the reason the recovery rate these days is around 1-2%, is that practically no one does what WE DO!
I "suggest" that you read those pages and do precisely what it says we do, if you want to Recover from a seeming hopeless state of mind and body as I have.
