Congratulations on wanting to do something about your problem and going to a meeting. The first meeting I attend in 1974 also did nothing for me. As a matter of fact it took twenty-five more years before I got a one year chip. Many meetings I attend today don't do anything for me. The difference between now and then is that I don't attend meetings just for me or so that I can get something. Today I go to possibly shake someone's hand. Maybe just smile at someone. Maybe to talk to someone who is lonely. Maybe just to give someone a hug. I found when I go to give, and not receive, I always get more that I gave..........weird isn't it?

Selfseeker..............maybe it ain't all about you. Hang around for a while and see what happens. You may be surprised...........

I love you and there's not a damn thing you can do about it..........toad
