Hey there Mlynn,

I had a heck of a time going to my first meet. I drove up into the parking lot, chickened out and drove home for like two whole months. And this was _after_ having therapy and going to AA meets. So I understand how scary it is.

You know what I found out? The people in the meets are _just_ as scared. They are all there for the same reasons I am, and they are just as scared of _me_ as I was of them. When it comes down to emotions we really are all the same, just little kids on the inside who had the courage to survive some awful stuff.

You're going to be fine at the meet Mlynn, just like all the rest of us were fine when we went to our first one.

Mike
