missing meetings


Due to work committments I have missed my meetings for the last 3 weeks. Ive been feeling a bit fearful in case I revert back to my old miserable self, but im doing not too bad. I can feel a bit of a decline and a bit panicky a couple of times but im getting good at using the tools. Ive been reading each day, connecting with my hp when I can, praying, being grateful, connecting on here, connecting with my sponsor, but I really miss my meetings, those women are like my substitute mothers, my sponsor was saying that they have all being worried about me and wanting to see me, even though I did tell everyone about this month and my workload. I havent missed my meetings since I joined over 2 years ago. I love that there are people In this world that care about me and are on my side. Its like love really, you know that whole definition of love, that is what I get at my meetings. I feel that way here too, I feel like this program gives people the ability to show that good love. Its another word I didnt like or use much, that word love. I suppose these words are getting different defintions based on my changing attitude. Im grateful for this program, thanks for listening.x
