Hey Laurie and Liberty, I'm going to take your advice and check out some meetings in the Valley. It's hard for me to get there during the week because I work late and live more towards downtown, but I'm going to be sure to check out a Valley meeting over the weekend. I'll let you know how it goes!
To everyone else, thanks again for the excellent advice. I am glad that you took the time to read and comment on my post. It makes me feel much better! I am very grateful!!
