I have learn last night i went to a f2f meeting i felt out of place but listen to every one who talk because i know i got a problem and it ME my best thinking got me here and i realize i need to work on my self more than ever,but for your help i would had been more nerves than i have been, i just started and i got a long ways to go and with the help og GOD i know i can make it and the people in this program
Feeling out of place doesn't last long, and all the other people in the meeting are glad to have you. I have to go 70 miles round trip to an Al Anon meeting that isn't also an AA meeting, and I haven't gone yet. Your post really makes me think 70 miles is not much for the good stuff I got from going to meetings before.
Just more of my resistance to taking care of myself, I think. Thanks for your post, it was good for me to hear.
I was so nervous my first meeting too, but like you, I started learning things from the very beginning that helped me. The first and most important thing at the time, was that other people really did understand what I was going through AND that they had gone through it and not only survived but prospered!! Woohoo!
