Boy was I surprised when I went to my first AA meeting. They took me up to the Serenity Room to interview me to see if I was in the right place then give me a little introduction to the program. When they were finished they took me downstairs to the meeting in progress. In the meeting, they were talking about the Eleventh Step, they were talking about praying to God. I didn’t have a clue about the God thing. At the end of the meeting the got up and said the Lord’s Prayer. I couldn’t join in, I didn’t know the words. It would take me quite a while to figure out the spiritual program. I don’t think that was a problem. I was just trying to go to meetings and not take the first drink in the first few months.
