First AA meeting
First AA meeting
October 9, 2012I was hoping to save my marriage. I wanted to have my old life back–the life where I didn’t think about drinking from the moment I woke up in the morning. What I didn’t know was that I would never get my old life back. Instead, I got something better. I was able to get 3 months of sobriety before relapsing. I struggled to stay sober. I hated AA. Over the next 14 months, I drank less overall but found it difficult to string together more than a week or two of abstinence. - January 2014

He went to meetings every single day. Sometimes twice a day. He never suggested that I attend more meetings. He led by example. And I followed his example. - October 2014
