Hello to all..
Im a 25 year old female from the Mongtomery County area.. Ive spent the past two weeks going to IOP meetings for a DUI that I had gotten last January (07). I started my meetings believed that I was just a young adult who made a bad decision, and was basically in denial about my addiction. After five meetings, I finally opened my eyes and realized I am an alcoholic, and I always will be. It is still very hard for me to admit as my fifth meeting was this evening (Saturday - January 11th). This whole process has been the hardest in my entire life, and to be honest I'm not sure where to start. I have one more meeting left in IOP .. I havent drank since the 4th.. and I want to do everything I possibly can to continue to live a sober life.
I am asking for advice, support, and pretty much any help that anyone can give me. I've done some research and found a meeting tomorrow evening.. but it is an open step meeting? I don't know if this is the best kind of meeting for my first meeting admitting that I am an alcoholic. I live in the Telford area outside of Lansdale/Souderton/Hatfield, etc..
If there is anyone out there that could help me - I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thank you in advance! My email is -

Best Wishes,
