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.

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