I would encourage you to try again and really mix up where you go this time. 12 step meetings are a great way to create a strong foundation in early recovery. Use them to your advantage if you can. Don't be afraid to venture a ways out to hit a new and different meeting. It might well be worth it! @ Maureen – there is quite a wide variety of meetings out there….they really can be worlds apart in the whole vibe of the meeting and the message that you hear there.

I went to two meetings and found it rather depressing. I didn't feel I was learning anything except how depressing other people's lives were and felt totally out of place. I would like to try again but not sure how to go about it. Pray for me. I was not sure whether I was an alcohol abuser or full blown alcoholic so decided to attend AA last year.
