Iris, I am so glad you found the courage to just go, just show up and let life happen, because meetings are a wonderful place to find our peace and work through our issues.
It takes a while to get used to them and sometimes we need to try a couple of different meetings to find one that feels "right" for us, so I am very happy that your first visit turned out so well.
I really am proud at how hard you have worked to put your recovery in place. You really are a woman of strength and courage and a shining example of how recovery works.
Hugs
