I guess i don't always realise how lucky i am when it comes to my meeting, i have a great bunch of fellow sisters to rely on, some who have been around for a number of years and whom i have built fantastic relationships with over this time.

Our meeting is great, we have a monthly structure that was voted in at a group conscience some years ago and it works well for us.

1st week we study a step
2nd week we discuss a topic (denial, honesty, shame, guilt, fear, resentment etc)
3rd week we have group conscience and study a tradition
4th week we read OA literature
5th week (if there is one) we invite a speaker to the meeting either from OA or AA to share experience strength and hope

The last part of our meeting each week is put open for members to share their own experience, strength and hope from the week.

Last nights meeting was brilliant, we had a newcomer which is always great so we focused on welcoming her to our meeting.

It always feels like i am among family when i am at my meeting, my friends know me so well, in fact they know me better than my birth family and are always there with hugs and love when i need them something i did not and do not get from my family.
