Nervous about doing a share

Hello

I am coming up 7 months sober soon and life is feeling a lot better - physical, mental, work, social, financial, spiritual. I have been in AA during this period and found it really beneficial especially doing service - I was promoted to tea boy before xmas.
I am just a bit nervous at the moment because people in AA have been asking me to do a main share. I know what to say if i do a main share but just feel really nervous if I break down and make a fool of myself.
Anyone got any tips about how they prepared for a main share? Please help.

ive prayed before every one.
then shared what I used to be like,what happened, and what im like now. I don't go into the drunkalogue crap. they already know about that. I stick with the thinkin thing.

Tomsteve has it right. Pray for guidance before you share. Just pretend you're talking to your best friend. You'll be alright.

Just wanted to wish you good luck! I'm only 26 days sober. I can/could learn from you.
