I want to give a lead again but this time at a bigger meeting. :rotfxko I've been sober 18+ months (minus a day) and I finally am beginning to see some of my character defects.
I am listening to Mark H. and Joe H. Big Book Experience and they are speaking about this very subject. Have a listen.

They talk about stopping speaking when they realized they were attracted to speaking.
