Today's meeting went well. I Re-met a woman from last night and talked a little (she's a fellow newcomer) and talked with a woman with who I believe is a sponsor - she asked another gentleman if he had some books I could borrow until I could buy them and he gave her a $20. She then bought me the books I needed. She encouraged me that the beginners meeting I attended tonight is definitely one I should keep coming back too. And it was a good meeting - I think I liked it better than last night. She also suggested 90 in 90.
Went I left, she asked me to text her and I said thanks to the gentleman. He told me all he wants me to do is return the favor if a newcomer ever needs it. I introduced myself to the other two standing there. They were all very encouraging and told me it works if you work it and and keep coming back.
