They don't get to hear about what happens to people who stop going to meetings.

My Dad has been sober a long time, when I tried for a long time to stop unsuccessfully, he kept encouraging me to never give up. It really was his only message to me. It helped.

I attend regularly, in state and when I travel out of for work. Over the years I've gotten to really know people from all over the country as a result. Good people.

Congrats on finding what you needed and thanks for sharing about it.
