I felt the same for a long time, almost anti-woman.....I laugh now, but then it was a real fear/distaste. I realize that (for me) I didn't want to be around other women in recovery(or at all) because I was afraid to look at myself!!!! With a few 24 hours sober, I began to realize that having female friends wasn't so bad...... now, I cherish my "girlfriends", they are truly gifts of recovery. Because I love me for who I am today (quite a goof really) I am able to love others. As for your trip, I would be nervous too, new things still scare me a little. You are brave, but I think you will be glad you went!!
