Hey,
Congrats on the meeting, I know reading out loud is scary for me. I am intimadated when I go to meetings, I sometimes think everyone else know more than me, and that makes me feel less than. But I am not, I am there just to stay sober, like everyone else. Know one cares if you are late. I used to go to partys and bars late all the time. I would go to work late, pay bills late, and family gatherings late. When I was drinking I did everything late, or not at all. There is one thing I know, If I don't go to AA I will definetly drink. Going late is still going, Sometimes the best meetings are after the scheduled meetings anyway. Maybe stay for an extra 30 minutes and talk.

Have a blessed day, and just don't drink.

Thanks,
Dude
