this puts me off. i don't like speaking much in front of people.
There is almost always someone who just rambles on and on over and over at an AA meeting. But myself like you have trouble talking. And the fact is,if a meeting only had people that didn't have much to say. It wouldn't be much of a meeting. Nobody would say anything,and the meeting would be over in minutes.
You just have to take what you need ,and leave the rest.
