A good place to go

"AA is a helpful framework for creation because there is an entire fellowship of people and a bunch of meetings established for you to go to. An active life in AA can be an answer to the question: “What am I going to do with myself now that I’m not drinking?” Being actively involved in AA can replace the absence of drinking with something meaningful, but it is not the only solution available to you. It is merely a convenient one."

It's true: AA is a place to go to replace the bar. It's a great place to meet people who will give you support in your sobriety. And at times like the holidays, it's a great place to go when you feel you can't go to any other party. A lot of people say spend as much time going to meetings as you did drinking. Use that same time to do something good for yourself instead. As of most of AA's suggestions, it's a good one.

It is awfully convenient considering there are tons of AA meetings all over the place. I mean, there are 5 clubs just in a 10 mile radius of me. They're great places to hang out in and meet with people who have sobriety in mind.
