I know I've burned my bridges with some of you on this site. I know that I've been rude, arrogant, obnoxious...I wish I could take it all back. I wish I had listened to what you people told me the first time I came here, or the second, or the third, fourth, etc.
I hope that you will forgive me and believe me that I'm sincere when I say I want to stop. I hope you'll still help me.
Hey Tipsy, welcome back. If I waited til I was sober to go to a meeting, I'd be dead by now. Call a friend or member, and get a ride. If you're anything like me, if I put it off waiting for this or that, there's a good chance I'll not only talk myself out of it but decide I've over reacted in the first place, and I'll never get there. Good time to hear what others have to share...hang in there, I know it's tuff and emotional right now...chris

the meetings are 'come as you are'. If you only have one second of sobriety then that is something, all you need is the desire to stop drinking. I went to a meeting 2 years ago after drinking and getting all maudlin. I went so I wouldn't do anything else stupid,, and they were glad I was there, and let me just sit there.
love in recovery,
amanda

My first two meetings I was bombed out of my mind. I was welcomed. Thank God I didn't have a computer then or who knows what might have come out of me. Hang in there and keep coming.

ps - I used to drink in a place called Filthy McNasty's. maybe an Irish cousin of yours?
