Lonely person raising her hand here!
My situation's different from everyone's too - but it all comes down to:
1. We're human.
2. Humans get lonely.
I've been thinking on this alot lately. What really, really helped me when I first came into AA was that so many times people would go out for coffee after the meeting. Just hang out and ge to know each other. Man, I loved that!
I moved to a different town a while back and no one here does that.
Wonder what would happen if I asked them out for coffee . . . ?
also - holding hands at the end of a meeting is my favorite part of a meeting precisely because it's human contact.
[is that sad?]
