Dallas folks - what's your preferred AA group? Anyone know if there's specifically one for or with a bunch of filthy lawyers? thanks!
Educated guess is there are a great number of lawyer groups in the greater DFW area. Get active in a local group, and the lawyers will find you.aglaw01 said:

God, I feel discouraged. Last night at my home AA meeting I really broke down sobbing, like ugly crying meltdown and had to excuse myself from the room. (Hard to picture from me, right?) I feel like I can't face those people again. I'm a crier and I'm always the only one that cries. I know I need to just get over myself but it is a humbling process. I
Pink, as you travel the road of happy destiny, one of the things your gonna loose is your terminal uniqueness. I assure you, you're not the first, or anywhere near the last, person to break down and cry at an AA meeting. People come into AA with feeling of regret, guilt, and shame because they're regretful, ashamed, and guilty. It's much easier, in the short run, to reach for the bottle have one, get tall and to hell with 'em all. That kind of thinking will pass as you go through the steps and address your particular situation. It works, it really does and you'll be there in a week, or month or year to help the next person that breaks down in a meeting. Don't drink and we'll see you Thursday.pinkdog said:

I do have a question for folks who have tried different things before committing to AA. I've been looking at One Year No Beer since yesterday, and I was curious to see if anyone in this thread had tried that and how it compared to your experiences with AA. I'm not 100% committed to never drinking another drop in my life, but I am committed to not drinking today or tomorrow, and so on until I figure out what in the hell is going on with me and how to best handle it.
