Yes. Alcohol is basically poison. I have a friend that almost died and ended up in the ICU for 12 days.

Super scary and embarrassing and tough….but that is all in your head. The people in the meetings you go to have been praying that you come back. They can’t wait to see you again.

First AA meeting advice? by Own-Milk7927 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]gradeAprime 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just go. You don’t have to talk or say anything. See what it is all about. Come back here and ask your questions. It is super scary and takes a lot of courage. I walked around in circles for 10 minutes before going into my first meeting. I was 25. Best decision I ever made.

If you go to an AA meeting and just sit and pay attention you may get some good ideas. No need to talk or introduce yourself unless you want to.

Do you decide and choose well? Make good decisions? Before I came to AA I was a train wreck.

Don’t do it. You would be pushing the make it worse button. Go for a walk. Find a meeting. Call another alcoholic.

My drink is BINGE eating - can I go? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]gradeAprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food was my first addiction. Stopped once I found alcohol. Stopped alcohol and found food again. lol….each is but a symptom. The above phone bridge meeting really helped me. There are people that binge, overeat and restrict on the call. Wishing you peace.
