I just came home from my first meeting and feel so relieved. Everyone was so friendly and warm. I will be going back tomorrow.

Thank you so much everyone. Since my post I have been attending two meetings on weekdays and 3 meetings on Saturdays and Sundays. I am just so overwhelmed by the support and encouragement. Yesterday I asked this amazing women who has 21 years of sobriety to be my sponsor and she said "YES". As I get more settled in I hope to be able to provide more support to folks on line. Thank you for reading and listening.
