Tonight i went to my first meeting. I walked in crying my eyes out and left laughing my heart out. Everyone there was positive, optimistic, and filled with laughter. The group was so encouraging; i can't wait to go back tomorrow to be sober for another day.
I never felt proud of myself until tonight when i began working the first step. For so long i had wrought myself in denial, and going to a meeting to tell someone that i am powerless over alcohol has been a most liberating experience. I've spent most of the evening meditating on that first step, one day chip in hand, learning that i am not alone in this struggle, nor should i struggle alone.
Right now i am not drinking, and i am grateful for every second. In all, this has been a very good day.
