I went to my first Al-Anon meeting last January in the depths of despair. I walked in and everyone looked so happy and properous and self assured. It was a speaker meeting and I cried the whole way through but the speaker's story resonated with me. I looked at the literature and grabbed all the pamphlets I could find. A nice woman talked to me afterwards, gave me a hug and her phone number.
I walked out feeling like there was hope for me after all. I still go to that speaker meeting often and I still cry most times but I have learned SO MUCH from the meetings. I also got a sponsor and finally began connecting with her.
