I bought the book....we are working on step two so it's near the beginning which is great. And found out about another one closer to me from a member there so that will be good too. I'm so glad I found this site and my meeting....it has helped so much and I have so much to learn...but it's a beginning. Anyone wondering about them...go try one they are great. I too am a bit shy around new people but I know it will get easier in time.
Hi Katie, youre doing great. I went to my first meeting and couldn't even look up to meet the eyes of the other members there. I was so scared and emotional. It took me another 2.5 months to get the courage to try again, so hats off to you. You're a strong person.
I was lucky enough to have my SIL help PUSH me to go to at least 6 meeting... She went with me...I remember the first one I went to alone, WOW... My Stomach was in flip flops, but proving to myself, and going with an open mind, had truly been a blessing in my life... As has MIP...
Keep Coming back, No Matter what lies ahead... We are best understood by those that have stood there before us... :)
That's great! I am also pretty new and SO glad to have found this place and my f2f meetings. I know I'd be in a much worse place (mentally) right now if I had not found the program.
