Pray for God to guide your words and to let other hearts be open to hear them.
I am sure that you will do great! This is a great growth experience for you
and you will be able to keep what you have by giving it away. I am sure you
will find just the right words to speak at the meeting. Please let us know how it goes.
I will be thinking of you.
Hugs,
Cheryl

Hi Tink, you will be great, just speak from your heart, you have much to share that can help those starting out, you can remember how lonely and frightening it its in the beginning, and share with them that it does get better.
Let us know how it goes, I am sure you will be SUPER!
PS If you feel nervous just take a breath and slow down a bit, I qwill be thinking of you tonight...

i spoke at the meeting and it was awesome...i got alot of good replies from people afterwards and 2 people told me my story was very inspirational...it felt good to be a part of someone elses recovery like that...one girl looked like she was in tears and i felt like i really touched peoples hearts...its really hard to explain the feeling i got going home...i just felt like i did something big and i prayed one day i could do it again...
Question:
looking back when you got into the rooms did you ever think that sharing was going to be so rewarding for you and others.
The program has so many things to offer beyond the obvious.
Hang in there, its only get better!
