Bewildered
9 March 2009 - 3:04pm — Bulbo
Like a rabbit in caught in the headlights I do not know which way to turn. I am lost, I have only just got the courage up to try and confront my demons by looking for help but do not know which way to turn. I have known I have had a problem all my adult life and have tried to conquer it alone but each time I have failed and unfortunately slipped a little further down the moral slope. I have stumbled across SLAA and I am having problems trying to understand what the first step is. In looking at the list of meetings I see there is a group in Toddington, which is only a few miles away, but I am not sure I am brave enough to go – I need some help and guidance - Is there anyone out there who can help or advise me on my next step?

Hi Bulbo, Well done for getting this far. If you do summon up the courage and get to your first meeting you will discover that we can not recover by ourselves. We need to reach out and get help. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. If you can get to meetings you will discover how the 12 step programme works. It is scary walking through the door to a meeting for the first time, but you will discover that you are not alone. I wish you good luck. Venus
Hi Venus Thanks for the
Hi Venus Thanks for the encouragement I am still slightly lost on how to go forward. I have been searching my soul over the last week and have posted a confession in the forum yesterday, which depressed me and made feel better at the same time. This is the first time I have ever told anyone about my problem. I will try again to go to my first meeting this week if my courage holds out.
