My first AA meeting was service. He was taking meetings into in the Placer County, California jail. The H&I (hospitals and intistitutions) volunteers bring in AA meetings every Wednesday night there. I was looking at a sentence of several years in state penitentiary for alcohol and drug-related crimes. Although I didn’t think I had a problem with alcohol at the time, I went to their AA meetings just to get out of my cell. I later learned when I got out of jail that there would be meetings every day that I could attend.
