She Held my hand, amazing!
For those of you that have been following my story, and even those have not. I am clean off of opiates now for 7 days. One week!
I was scared to death of going to a NA meeting and didnt want to at all. I was shaking in my boots. BUT, when I walked in I had this complete at peace feeling. I found the room that I was to be in and sat down by a lady that introduced her self, she said welcome, and held my hand, the whole meeting.. Now I am not the person to let people just hold my hand, but I felt oddly at peace and even shed a few tears at the warmth I felt in my heart. I felt warm and fuzzy, the good way, not the doped up opiate way.
It was so so worth it, I will go back thursday, and now I cant wait to go again.

Now that's a beautiful message, thank you for sharing.
For years, I've had a stupid phobia about men's recovery meetings. I've been telling myself that it's silly for a group of males to share about sobriety and shed tears.
For the past 6 weeks I've been going to a men's Christian meeting, it's been incredibly freeing to share openly and honestly, I don't feel the need to hide anything. And yes, we even *gulp* HUG
It's been a very humbling experience

Thanks all,
It was really awesome, I didnt think that I would ever feel like that in a group of people that all had "drug" problems. I was suprised at the warmth there, I dont know how else to explain it, it was just cozy/comfortable. I didnt say a word other then my name and why I was there, but just listening and holding a strangers hand was exactly what I needed.
