A Sober Circle

I got sober in September of 1993. I was drinking like we all drank and I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I also am in the military and I didn't want to go home a failure one more time. I knew about AA, but I had no idea what they did there. I went to my first meeting in Astoria, Ore. They held a First Step meeting and talked about all the stuff I had been doing, like drinking the rent money, driving drunk, and feeling hopeless, I could relate.
