The meeting was awesome. I had been once before but didn't speak or say I was there for the meeting, just there to support my SO...

Two ladies came up to me when it was my turn to say it was my 1st meeting and gave me a hug. They also handed me a pamphlet w/ all the ladies in the room I could contact should I need to. Afterwards, several long time sober people went to dinner and asked me to join. It felt great. I felt great. For the 1st time in a long time I didn't feel the burning need to use hanging over me. I bought a big blue book. And read some of it his weekend.

I feel stronger. And I also went to a NARANON meeting this past week. That also felt nice.

I am goinig to try to get to at least 1 more meeting this week at a different location...

NA is the way.

Thanks
Carla
