First Meeting! Done
Well, I finally took the plunge. I went to my very first meeting as a newcomer today at 8pm. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Really made the experience all the better. I went up and introduced myself quickly and got a hug and my newcomer chip. Listened to some good discussion from various speakers. And at the end I got 4 phone numbers from some really nice guys. One who lives just around the corner from me and the other who just celebrated his 8th Birthday. Really encouraging. And was given a newcomer packet and a big book, funny thing is I just sat down to page through it, and its in Spanish. Whats even funnier is I am a total white guy, haha. I guess I will have to exchange it. Was invited to another meeting tomorrow, I am confident I will go. Good experience. Don't know why I waited so long.

Ditto all the way down
Welcome Home is right.
And now you have your chip, just remember that it means IF you were to pick up a drink. You are to go return that chip BEFORE you pick up not after. Sister Ignatia rules she came up with the coin.
Good love, Inda
