i went to my first meeting last night.....it's weird becuase it's exactly like it's portrayed on tv, and also nothing like they show on tv....but i went with a friend who watched me go thru the pill wds, listened, and actually felt comforted, the weirdest thing was how many people were there, i had to drive past 3-4 bars to get there and if you added all the cars in their lots....there was more people at this meeting than at all the bars i passed combined. but as far as this morning goes, i guess i feel pretty good, no terrible dreams last night, but that could just be my body crashing after 2 nights with no sleep, but im kinda hoping those are over with...the other sx are still around, but it seems tolerable so far today, working helps, and i think the meetings will too, im planning on another one tonight just so i have something to look foward to....still not sure about sharing too much there....yet, still got alot of emotions running rampant upstairs. i wanted to thank all of you who have been talking me thru this....and im sure my loved ones would like to thank you to.....you are an amazing bunch!!!

CONGRATS!!! Im comming up on my 30 days and attend meetings. I realized not all meetings are gonna be this huge life changing deal. Ive left afew disgusted. Im being honest. Afew of the people speak EVERY time and dont give the newbies a chance. Then there seems to be this imaginary line between the people with alot of clean time and those with little clean time. Its like they forgot where they came from. I got so much from the new people then anybody. I can say I ALWAYS feel better after the meeting. So, I go and embrace it. I think Ill go tonight but Im going to a different one. Im sick of hearing this one girl cry about nothing allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the time. You keep those meetings up. I can say its helped me alot. I cant wait to go get that 30 day tag! Youll get yours too. You know what they say  "keep comming back" Congrats again.

I'll concur with the others here. Keep going to meetings and definitely keep posting and reading here. Getting clean is the best thing I've ever done for myself. Don't know why I waited so long to do it.  If you can make it 3 days then you can make it 4. Keep up the good work!

i dont share at meetings either. i just listen. and listening has kept me clean for 54 days. i love the meetings i go to. i am off work today and as usual, bored. boredom causes my mind to wonder to things it shouldnt sometimes so, i cant wait til 5:30 so i can get to the meeting tonight. i always feel better when i leave them.

It's good to sit back and listen.  Someone told me early on at a meeting to take the cotton out of my ears and put it in my mouth, so i did~~~~~~sara

Keep coming back... it works if you work it.

You'll share in your own time. In the meantime, just sit back and listen to those that DO share, and gain from their experience, strength & hope.

You're doing great kiddo. Keep on sharing!
