Hi - just to say, there is no pressure on anyone to speak at any AA meeting unless you want to. Many people I know do not 'share', but get a lot from listening in. Especially in the meetings that are Big Book study or 12 and 12 study meetings. I hope one day you do feel string enough to give it a go - the support I have found there (and friends I have made) have been such a blessing.

Glad your personal investigation of the Big Book is going well. x
