I am REALLY bad at the whole time zone thing. I live in Missouri, which I think is central time? So if the meeting is 9pm eastern time tonight, that would make it 8 am my time? Right? I hope that's right. I want to participate. It will be my first ever meeting. I told my boyfriend this morning that I was going to start attending meetings. He said I could just wait and he would prove that he's going to stay sober. I told him the meetings are for ME, not for HIM. Because I need the support. I need help dealing with this. And he said he hated that I was hurting because of him.
I'm choosing to stay with him. I love him and considering ending our relationship hurts me more than his drinking. In a way, I'm staying with him for me. I'm being selfish. Because he makes me happy. He makes me feel good.
8pm your time M-F.....don't fret if nobody is there - it sometimes starts late!
8am your time M-F.....same applies - morning meetings are almost always a go for M-F....
Weekend times vary just a bit!! Great group both times - weekends are less populated than week days!!
