You can go to an online meeting. Name yourself ‘Just Listening’. Most will let you leave the camera off. As long as you don’t interrupt you can stay. You can also message the host if you want to know more. Each meeting is differnet, and Zoom bombers have been a problem, but generally newcomers are given plenty of leeway.

I heard this story from an oldtimer.
Back in the day, he was in a cheap hotel in Philadelphia. There was a bar in the lobby.
He spent all night holding onto the bed, because he knew if he let himself get up he’d drink.
My first few months I went to speaker meetings so I’d hear stories like that.

I know people who got sober while working in bars and restaurants.
I’ll never say it isn’t tough, because I needed a 28 day ‘vacation’ and constant job testing to dry out and get my feet on the path.
But with the right team, anything is possible.

The booziest towns have the best sobriety.
New York, New Orleans, Las Vegas, LA, San Francisco all have tons of meetings.
It’s one day at a time. Sometimes, it’s one minute at a time.
Search out the right meetings and get a bunch of phone numbers.
I once called a guy and told him that I was practicing making calls. He got it.
