We can go to the zoo and have a lovely afternoon together then attend the meeting.

I feel like such a fool for shying away from the meetings. If it wasn't for work tonight i would attend another one. I want to be around a sober community so much. I hope this isn't my mania talking and i can keep this up. Between the support here, there, from my family and husband i have hope again.
AA meetings make me feel like that too, ... what a "fix" for a $1.00 !!

All the best. (P.S. you don't have to be a Christian to be an AA, any H.P.'s accepted)

It's so funny to me that i wish i wasn't working tonight. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's meeting. I've been to a meeting when there was a speaker and though i prefer meetings where i speak about my own issues, i enjoy hearing about other people's struggles and triumphs. It gives me more hope.
