Visiting a.a.

After my second year of college I felt sick of the same old routine of drinking at parties and the usual nonsense. I invited of a friend who had just finished his classes and wanted to drink to celebrate. I told him I didn’t want to but I relentlessly gave in and drank on the rooftop. I started playing my guitar and singing off into the street below. Throwing stuff off unto the people walking on the sidewalk I then accidentally smashed my head with the guitar. I got down from the roof and had this awful feeling about the few beers I had. It was a turn in my gut and I knew I didn’t want to drink again. I went and grabbed the A.A. pamphlets from my roommate’s room, which I had given them after my mom gave them to me. The next day I started to think. My mind was somewhat clear and as I sat outside on the backyard I heard a voice in my head. It said my name “Pete” and there were four or more of them and they came rushing from the back of my head and then disappeared. I then went and called my mom in Florida. I asked to speak to my stepdad who I knew was an alcoholic. I told him that I was an alcoholic and that I was going to start going to A.A. meetings. I had a moment of clarity. I thought of an old love from highschool and felt an overwhelming sense of love. The next day my mom drove up to see me for the week and she took me to A.A. meetings every day.
