But when I was new to the program I would rarely speak because basically I didn't have any experience to share except how not to stay sober. If called on I would just say I'd just like to listen today. I had an old sponsor who was pretty straight forward with me. Some days he would say before the meeting to just shut up and listen today haha. He was a great sponsor though. He didn't sugar coat anything and that is exactly the way I needed it to be.
