I was told to remember that it's a "how it was, what happened, and how it is now" talk - and that I shouldn't let any of that out. "How it was" connects with the newcomer who needs to know that your E, S & H applies to him or her. "What happened" is that turning point moment(s) when we come around to embracing recovery. "What it's like now" is crucial -- because if you don't have E, S & H to share, there's no reason for giving the lead.

And, yes, pray! I was asked less than 24 hrs before I gave my first lead. I didn't have a lot of time to think about it, but I did have time to pray, and it came out okay. There aren't any Oscars given for leads, so the pressure is off!!

Peace & Love,
Sugah
