How did it go?

I was told to pray beforehand and get sober by the bottom of the hour. I was petrified the first time but after that it got to be fun.

hi guys! it went really, really well last night! i was funny, and a bunch of people came up to me after the meeting to give me hugs and thank yous, and it was amazing. i started with "well, most of you are my buddies, so you've already heard bits and pieces of my story... some bigger pieces than others" cause my BFF jamie was there, and she knows it all. and, i ended with how much i love AA and how it saved my life, then taught me how to keep saving my life, and how sweaty i was. so, i ended on a high note. i cannot thank you all enough for the love and support i receive here, it's truly a blessing. thank you all so much, my SR fam was in my head and i wish y'all coulda been there.

thanks again and again, you fabulous people.

Wohoo!!! Good job, I have heard quite a few speakers say that their story changes with time, what they may not have shared one time they will share the next time because it is where they are at in thier sobriety and in their step work.

So did you just go with the flow?

i did, i went with the vibe of the room... told my story, invited God, and guess what? He showed up! and, i looked nice, out of respect for AA.

Emimily I'm glad that you it went well. I went to a meeting last night too. It was not an AA meeting but a CODA meeting it was a start I was scared but I knew you were out there somewhere helping someone so I sat and listened and decided to be the person asking for help. So thanks. And I'm so glad it turned out for you. Thats just neato. And you helped me more than you know. You speaking helpd me get off my butt.
