Day 28

[wanttobeclean]

I'm here...at the end of today, it will be 28 days.  Went to my second AA meeting 2 days ago, and it was right on the money for me...yet again!  Lots of talk about the life of lies that active addicts live in and the shame that comes with it...if not during our active addiction, then now, in our recovery.  Boy could I relate to each and every point.  

My only issue with that meeting is that... I'm the only woman there!  The only one!  Two weeks in a row now.  From the "leader", I got a listing of other meetings and my goal for next week is to ALSO go to a new meeting to ctry and connect with women in my shoes and try to find a sponsor.  I'm really working through the first step, but need guidance and someone to bounce things off. Some things I just feel uncomfortable discussing with a guy.  A- I don't think they truly understand some of the big issues in my life (work/family balance, relationships, etc) and B-  I'd feel realy uncomfortabe discussing anything to do with intimacy.

So, there you go...Sunday will be 30 days. I'm so grateful to be here posting that.

I have to hand it to you. I takes alot of guts to go to a meeting.
Try another one, there is bound to be one you're comfortable with.
Don't quit before the miracle happens.
