Congrats, HC,
Glad you found a great meeting. I suggest you "join" the group and make it your "home group". It's where you can give back by taking on service commitments (every group needs help setting up, cleaning up, etc.). Actually, I like the idea of having newcomers be the group's "greeter"--it's a great way to meet the "regulars" and also extend the same welcoming hand you found.

Congrats on thirteen days! That rocks! And I am glad to hear you found a meeting you like. They are not all the same, and not every meeting is a fit for every alcoholic. . .so glad you didn't give up!

DayTrader,
Thanks for your reply! I tried 5 different groups and finally found this one. We don't sit in a circle. It is almost like a bar setting (maybe an old VFW hall). They have a bar with free water, soda, coffee etc. We have many picnic like tables and you can sit where you want. I just feel more comfortable there.
The other day I got to pick a topic and I picked "making amends". Tough subject..many people were mad at first, but I think the topic helped many...including me.
Hope you are having a great sober day!
