We start a new AA-focused chapter of Unbottled and get real about why “90 meetings in 90 days” keeps showing up in early sobriety. I share how daily meetings helped me survive the trigger-heavy first months, build a routine, and stay sober one day at a time for 38 years.
• why I’m shifting into AA-focused episodes and what AA offers
• what “90 meetings in 90 days” actually is and why it’s a suggestion
• how early sobriety triggers work and why the first 90 days feel shaky
• using meetings to replace bar time and home-drinking time
• repetition as a way to build habits, routine, and stability
• familiar faces and real accountability that keeps you connected
• giving a meeting three tries before you decide it’s not for you
• permission to be imperfect, leave early, stay quiet, and still count it
• common resistance thoughts and how they keep people stuck
• trying different meetings and deciding based on experience
