I hope its ok to share how great the f2f meetings are here :)  I mean I know you all kept telling me how great they are, but I kept putting it off and thought I could get by without them. 

Well they are just another great tool to put in my box, having a real meeting to get to, to be at and contribute to helps me so much.  Sharing in the fellowship and warmth there is just amazing. 

Yesterday I went and dropped bf off at a meeting for him.  It ended up being mislabled and was for women only so he came back out just before I left the parking lot.  I told him I was still going to my meeting.  He asked if he could join me.  I said that it was up to him, he had a father that had a bad pill problem growing up, and many uncles with alcoholism, so I knew it was ok for him to go if he wanted to.  It was another great meeting with wonderful shares.  It was great to hear more stories about rejection and how it was dealt with or how its being dealt with now...  Tears and laughter. 

After the meeting my bf said "Wow.  That was really interesting and everyone sounds so sad...but they sound like they have awareness and are getting better too"  Thats pretty much it, yup. 

I found out about another meeting tonight, its brand new.  I want to go, its the first night they are there.  It ends right at the supper hour, so its a little inconveinent...  I may go anyway.  Because I won't be able to go to another one til Wednesday and if we get that storm here (MORE SNOW) its supposed to drop another 2 feet of snow on us, I am not sure if I will be able to go anywhere at all :P 

Thank you all.  I cannot profess to you how much those f2f meetings help.  I am lucky there are so many here in my area...  THank you all!  Glad to be here :)  This board has helped me in so many ways and having the support of actually getting myself to a meeting is great for me :)  You have all been here from the beginning and I am grateful to have you all in my life now :)  I know there will be hard days, I know that, and I know I have good tools to use on those days.  THanks :)

I have only been to one* bad * meeting and it turned out it was my frame of mind that was the problem biggrin  duh . If you can leave a meeting with one new idea its a good one , or if it just calms the jitters it is an hr well spent .  Keep taking care of you  Louise
