12-step Meetings

Since May 1999, I have regularly gone to 12-step meetings.  Early on, it was twice a day.  While working it was two or three times a week.  I have gone nearly every day for the last 18 months least averaged a speck more than a meeting day.

Alcoholism is a disease of isolation.  Having a profound disability is also a socially limiting factor.  Going to a meeting is frequently my only social activity for a given day.  Staying home and isolating is a sure route to insanity and relapse.

I am grateful for the hundreds and hundreds of regional 12-step meetings and for the 100+ meetings here in Bellevue each week.
