I wish I could be there!
I know that when I speak, I always feel absolutely fabulous when I'm done. Though scared ****less before hand.
My wife has never heard my story, and she probably never will. I wouldn't feel comfortable with her hearing it. Sure, she's pretty much lived most of it, but not all. There are aspects of which she doesn't know and doesn't need to know.
I suppose it's different for the A's in this regard as there may be some of the more... what's the word... drastic measures we go through in order to get what we want at times. There's one piece of my story that involves using a needle to shoot vodka. This is something she doesn't know about and, like I said, doesn't need to know.
But this part of my story is important to share with those in recovery (my sponsor agrees with this). Very often it's necessary for us speakers to sort of qualify ourselves with our audience.
Anyway... I don't want to derail your thread with that. Best of luck. I hope it goes well.
