The e-AA Group

I did my best to bring something to the party and enjoyed myself thoroughly. AA is amazing...It took this hopeless drunk and turned him into the sober guy at the party...so happy that I became willing to take the actions...and continue to do so today...my life is awesome!!! Even though I do try to ...

I was so scared to attend my first meeting... So scared I thought I was just going to faint. I realised that meetings are the place where I feel most understood, most accepted and most comfortable to talk about my feelings. No one judges, they have all been there. And after all fear is just an emoti...

May I ask, what you are going to do differently this time around? I am seeking professional help, adding to the meetings and the daily work in the program. And I am trying to live by the program, instead of just reading the literature and talking the talk. I think my biggest problem is, that I alwa...

Thanks for the messages...
I am going one day at a time.
Not making any plans anymore...
My doctor advised me to seek help in one of the day time rehab facilities. That way I can work, but still have someone professional by my side, while I work the steps and learn.

I wasn't able to say goodbye because I was drunk and asleep while they rushed him to the hospital.
That must never ever happen again.

Have you contacted the ICYPAA rep for meetings in Germany?

I haven't, but I had another AA friend call. They are talking about doing a YPAA meeting here. I don't really have any info, as I haven't really been in touch lately.

Hi my name is Feeya and I am an alcoholic.
As of today I am three days sober.
I have been here before and I thought I had hit bottom and could not fall any deeper. I learned that I could.
And I did.
Alcohol won this battle but that doesn't mean I failed.

that is brilliant!

In 1985, one of the better known examples of A.A.

The product of delinquent, violent, alcoholic parents June was pathologically suicidal as a ch...

Hi Caruh, Your struggle sounds very familiar.. the part of being scared of new people but at the same time wanting new people in your life is something I identified with for the longest time. My biggest struggle used to be, and I am only speaking for myself here, that I would hide behind the multipl...

Congratulations!
Thank you for being here and sharing your journey!
