Thanks Jazzfish and Paul. I'm willing to attend a lot of meetings, I'm willing to work the steps, I'm willing to be brutally honest with myself, I'm willing to read and study the BB from cover to cover, and I'm willing to accept "tough love". I would think that would be enough.
Anyway, I'm attending my first meeting tonight, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm guessing my concerns are unnecessary, and that the experience will be a positive one.
