Don't be nervous about your first few meetings. Everyone there had a 'first meeting' and they understand. :)

Do whatever it takes to stay sober. Living sober really rocks. :)

Thanks for all the support! The group was great! (I had been to some in the past which weren't so good.) I felt comfortable sharing. Shared like 3 times since people kept tossing it back to me. Oddly, as soon as they asked who was a first timer, I spoke, and my anxiety completely faded away. I'll definitely be going back next week!

Very glad to hear it went well, suave. :) I think the more we talk about it, the less anxious we feel. It helps to know others have been on the same journey that we have.

Thanks for sharing, Suave - wow, kudos for tackling your anxiety over detox AND meetings....Awesome! :)

Awesome job! :You_Rock_ You faced your fear and now it has no power over you. :)

Great job! Keep up the good work :)
