lorily,
Thanks for information, I'll check it out. I know I can't honestly say I've given AA a decent try, so I'm going to try again. I'm actually sitting beside a phone number of a woman with 11 years sobriety, and she's willing to help me get to meetings. My therapist got me her number, now all I have to do is call.
I'm still scared, but I was scared when I skydived the first time and it turned out to be amazing. I'd hate to think I can jump out of a plane on purpose but lack the guts to go into a meeting of people who just want to help themselves and others!
I'm going to call her tonight.
Thanks for your support. Take care,
Caper

> The personal stories are there for people to relate to. The first 165 pages are about how the program works. Don't start anywhere but the preface. Also, there's a GREAT site on msn, a sponsors guide back to the big book. It's this guy, Michael, going through the book and explaining things as a sponsor would, how his sponsor did. I've gone through the work with someone personally already, and I find this site wonderful.
