I know I tend to lean towards discussion meetings. I like when topics are brought up and addressed. Early in my Recovery, I actually shyed away from speaking (hard to imagine, huh? lol ) and found that many times I could really identify with the issue that was brought up. I not only got some great suggestions on how to deal with something that may be going on in my life now, but also it made me aware of situations that may come up in the future. This helped me to understand that, once again, I'm not the only one feeling a certain way or having certain problems. Also, it's a great feeling when a topic is brought up that I have went through and survived without using. This will help you see where you have grown and possibly not even realized it!

I still go to Leads but not as often. For me, I needed a lot of Lead Meetings in the beginning so I could see that I wasn't the only one who did some sick things while out there. Helped me to see that I am not alone.
