I won't go into the details here, but today, I did my very first share after 4 weeks of attending meetings. And oh man what a weight off it was. I'd been so nervous about speaking in the meetings but once I started I couldn't stop, at least until I noticed someone checking their watch lol. I waffled and jabbered and wobbled. But in the end, I felt good. So damn good. Like 20 years of repressed emotion just fell out of my mouth in an incoherent jumble of words. And the best part, when the meeting was over and I was stood outside with a buddy of mine, at least 6 people came up to me and told me how good it was to see/hear me share.

The fellowship is one of the best decisions I was ever forced to make lol.

This is all I wanted to say lol.

Love and respect to all. I hope you all have a great week.

Hello all. I just wanted to say I'm new here and at meetings (3 months sober but only 2 meetings in). I just got my 3 month chip and it was such a special, wonderful moment I wasn't expecting. I'm clearly still riding high on the emotions of it all and I'm so grateful for all the support I have received so far and when I'm somewhat more integrated in the community plan to be an active member. I know it's still early days but hey, ODAAT.

Love and respect to all else on this journey. Whether you've been sober for 50 years or 50 minutes.
