Someone who can actually relate - Gouge, you get an initial chip when you attend your AA meeting for the first time after you quit drinking - or if you have been before but you are coming back weeks/months later usually on a relapse.... but are willing to take the program seriously. You then get your initial silver coin, beyond that I don't know what you get... I haven't got that far yet, or a sponsor
I have been in and out of AA meetings for 9 months now, and honestly they help alot.. They help me stay sober through times like this. But there is ALOT of other things going on besides this ... compounded I caved - Know what? RIGHT NOW, I don't regret it... even though I KNOW I will tomorrow.
I just have to make sure I get to sleep before 2 or 3 in the afternoon and avoid my daughter drunk now
If we want to start an AA thread - I'll gladly post there otherwise that REALLY is not why I posted what I did, seriously.. I have help lined up all over nowadays - was my choice not to take it!
And no I haven't taken the AA program totally seriously - And even though I have lived the life of a 50 year old at 27 .... I realize I have alot to learn and I WILL NOT DENY IT...
But again, that is not what this thread was aabout guys...
