My first meeting was very nerve racking, there was a lot of women there who were so open to speak I felt so shy. I was so nervous so I sat quietly. After the meeting ended a woman approached me and gave me a big hug, her name is sue. She said she was so proud I made this step and handed me a book, my first step is reading the story and going back on Friday. We exchanged numbers and she assured me I would one day be read to speak, until then remind myself God is here for me and to remember the serenity prayer. It felt so amazing that someone reached out to me and acknowledged the scared young lady. I will begin reading today, today is day 9 sober and I plan to keep racking up my sobriety days. I will continue AA and my husband who will be coming home this weekend offered to take me to counseling so he can better understand my hurt. He doesn't want to see me suffer anymore. Thank you all again. Praise God for I have been given a new day.
