Fantastic WL! well done !
You see? This is exactly "how it works", and the 'newcomer" you in this case , IS the most important person at the meeting. These friends were doing what works ! LOL You have no idea how much YOU would have helped them! There is nothing more encouraging to one member of AA, than helping another .
Every meeting is different, and I dont always feel thwe same after each one, BUT I always get something out of it . In this case, you gained friendship, an understanding of the similarities, and you had a laugh ! AND you helped 2 fellow members!
Not bad for 1 day I reckon!
Just for today
