I have seen several people say that they attended these meetings here through the years.

I'm not knockin' it but they sure do like to hear about your love life. I think they get tired of hearing about some things and like to hear about the drama with SOs.

Recovering drunk here.
It never was right for me. I know it’s absolutely saved lives and it works for a lot of people. I’m just not one of them. It had a cultish feel that I never could get comfortable with.
Ultimately I just made up my mind I was done but did take one of their popular slogans to heart - one day at a time.

Are these meetings a good place to pick up women?

I'm 2 years and 5 months sober. I got lucky and found a good one I guess and I attend twice a week. I'm 30 years old and the regulars are all mid 60's too early 70's aged men. They have been really good to me and really do give a shite.

I’ve been sober since 12/27/87 living one day at a time. I no longer attend meetings. I share my story with others often times complete strangers who are wanting to talk about their problems. I offer them support and encourage them to just stay sober today. A half-dozen of my HS using friends are no longer here due to drug overdose and making poor decisions under the influence. Sucks being a pall bearer for friends who died way to young.

How long have you been going for it to change your life? We used to have several threads a year with someone wanting or needing to get sober. Hopefully you can provide them some guidance on how you have stayed sober for a while.

I attended and it just never clicked for me. Never understood being able to walk away from something like that only having to report back once or twice a week to tell people about it.

I do u derstand it is beneficial for others.

I'm also not one of these folks who put timelines on their sobriety. I basically just put my foot down, stopped being an idiot, and left it all behind.

For me, I had worn that experience down to a nub, lost alot of things in life and just got to a point that I did not trust it anymore.
