First f2f meeting

Just got back from my first f2f meeting. It was good IMO, everyone made me feel at home, and they made it a first step meeting, so I was able to hear alot of stories of where they were when they first started AA, and their feelings of when they first started. Many of the people there had been recovering in sobriety for 10+ years.

I was given a phone list from the men there and they even invited me to a bonfire this saturday (which I cant make unfortunately due to previous commitments)

Face to face.

That's awsesome Carl. I dreaded ANY social interaction, and I had to be really desperate to walk into AA.

The fellowship is now one of my favorite benifits of the program. Give it some time, it gets really good, then it gets better !

Thaks for the answer, barb.

and good for you, carl! it takes a lot of courage to go to those first meetings, but it's definitely worth it. keep going. i've found meetings to be an indispensable tool in sobriety.
