Did my first lead.
Wow. You know I wasn't nervous about it, until a few minutes before I was introduced. My sponsor, fellow sponsees, and my sponsee were all there to listen. I told my story, and it's amazing how quickly that hour flies by. Whats even stranger is that I hardly remember what I said. My sponsor said that was normal, and even went further to say, that's when you did a good lead. Everyone said it it was a great lead, but with my struggling self esteem, my shortcoming always tries to intrude.
Regardless, I enjoyed doing the lead, and I hope what I said helped someone who was listening. That's what it's all about.

Do you go to speaker meetings, dgillz? The person speaking is "giving a lead." In other words, sharing their E, S & H, "how it was, what happened, & what it's like now."

Very cool !!!
I remember the first time I shared my story. I was maybe 60 days sober, and at the local Salvation Army doing H & I . A roomfull of about 75 men ! I was nervous to say the least, but my sponsor said I had them on the seat of their chairs.

Bet you did great Tom wish I could have heard it I love speaker meetings.It gets easier every time.I told my story a few times but I thought I needed to add a few chapters to it.I got to where I would show up 1hour and 15 mins early because I was asked to speak one time and just figured it started at 8 our meetings usally do this one started at 7 so I was early from then on.congrats tom.
