I just want to thank everyone that comments and encourages people to go to meetings. I found my way to a meeting through this community. I worked up enough courage to go through your encouragement. Today im sober 12 days and have a sponsor. And its still hard but for the first time in many years I am not alone. If you are out there thinking if you should go and havent made the step yet. Just go.
Hi i know this is a dumb question. Its kinda self explanatory I suppose, but can anyone get one? Like if you are at your first meeting and you were sober for 2 days can you get a white chip? What does each color mean? I went to my first meeting today. I didnt understand the chips and even though ive been sober two days it didn't feel right to take something.
Im one day sober. And its really hard. Ive gone through hell to get to this point. The only reason im even sober is because my doctor put me on neltraxon which has been a huge game changer. I know thats not a long term solution. I downloaded the meeting app (thank you to the person who recommended i do that from this group) I found a meeting I want to try. Im just so nervous to go! I know its me getting in my own way. My nerves are over the edge about just walking in the very first time. I need advice or something just to push me to take the steps. How did you find the courage to walk into your first meeting??? What was it like? How did you feel when you left?
