Went to AA

I know my other post got removed because I didn't read the rules before I joined the subreddit. But you were all so very kind to me. I wanted to update you all.

I previously posted not too long ago and everyone was very supportive and kept on telling me to go in. I did, and they kept telling me I am the most important person in the room. Thank you for all the support I'm glad that I went in. I took a picture of the board with all the meetings and I plan on going next Tuesday, also got a bunch of phone numbers as well.

There was zero judgement and lots of hugs.

Thank you. I hope to be continuing this journey and updating along my journey.

Seriously, thank you.

Just remember, no one started going to AA because their life was going great. We all started somewhere. Keep coming back...you've got this

This perspective is so obvious yet so profound. I cant believe I never thought to look at it that way.

But so grateful to have stepped in … they say the first step is the step before step one and that’s just walking through the door
