How Long Do We Have To Go

[roverl0616]

As a newcomer it's not hard to tell that lots of the people in the meetings have been going to them for a long time and we usually think am I going to have to go to these meetings for the rest of my life. We go to meetings as long as we want to live, it is from going to meetings that we found out how to live, and we also learned that it's a waste of the time we have here, when we're just surviving or existing as many of us had done before we got to recovery. None of us know for sure what comes next after this life, but we can all sense what a terrible thing it is to waste the time we have here in this life, as we all did. In a world where most are satisfied with just getting by, we have found something immensely better than that by going to meetings, and now we ask ourselves, why would we ever want to stop going to those meetings.
