Do meetings really work?

Listening to a new man a few days ago who had been making meetings, spoke of his sub-conscience. In a recent dream, he was offered a drink of alcohol and he refused it. He explained to us that that had never ever happened before. 

To me that just confirms our loving God and that regular attendance at meetings has its way of affecting our spiritual side. As a student of recovery, I have asked many why, after so many years of sobriety, did they go back out. The answer I always receive is… 

“ I quit going to meetings.” 

That statement is something I take to heart for I have heard it a thousand times. I do not want to go back out! So to put it another way, I look at It as a solid suggestion from our fellowship. 

“If you don’t want to go back out, then join a home group and attend meetings regularly.”
 

I also know because I have been told a million times.. “ It keeps getting better “ 

but…that depends on me staying close and continuing to work the program in all my affairs. I would also like to point out its a very good idea to get on your knees each day and thank God for another sober day because I can’t but, He can!
