So I liked the meeting. It was in a holistic naturopath center and it had a big window and lots of plants and incense burning, a very calm welcoming relaxing atmosphere. It was a small group of people in their 30's and 40's. We meditated and then read from the book and then we all shared. I found it hard to share.... got kind of flustered and had a hard time organizing my thoughts. I'm not used to opening up to a room full of strangers but hopefully it gets easier. I feel good, when I went to .. meetings I often left feeling triggered and craving a drink badly. This was different, a more soothing environment. I will go back next week for sure.... totally beats a night of drinking and self harm. It's good for me to get out of the house and be active about my recovery. I was really isolating and only surrounding myself with people who would support my addiction.
