your gonna love it. You dont even have to say or share anything if you dont want to. Can just sit and listen to the message if your that nervous. Can't wait to hear what you thought about it when you come back ~~

Yes my husband agreed to go with me as well. He is one of those "big tough guys" who says he can do it himself but he is going to support me and Im thrilled.

That is some of the best support you can have, from your significant other.

I just celebrated my one year sober anniversary in AA this week. Wow!
I am so thrilled to be part of the fellowship and to have true friends today.

Well I made it through my first AA meeting yay! I am shocked at how nice everyone was and sooo willing to help in any way they could. I shared a bit of my story and could not help but get choked up as I spoke but noboby judged. Im going to keep going

Thanks all for the encouragement to go!

Good job. I remember the first time I went. Just walking through the door and sitting down was the hardest part for me. Keep up the good work.

haha i started getting teary eyed the first time I shared as well, so much pain and sadness was stuffed in my body that needed to be released.

so glad you liked it and are going to keep going. did you receive a phone # list ??
