Hi NicLin. I am glad you had a positive experience at your first AA meeting. If I could offer a little advice for if and when you share with the group.

Keep it general until you have found your feet and got to know the people in the group. This is from the big book, which says "our stories disclose in a general way..." The reason is that it can be unwise to disclose too much. Some things are not for general consumption and are better kept for a more confidential setting. Discretion is wise.
