Today I did something I haven't done in a very, very long time: I got out of bed at 7am!!
I also did something I have never done before: Attended an SA meeting! Best part, it was Women's Only!
The first day I committed to attending an ARP group, I was filled with a lot of worry. This morning's experience was no different--I dreamt all night long about the meeting, getting lost trying to find the meeting, not making it to the meeting, and altogether trying to avoid the meeting. I worried a lot!!
But luckily, thankfully, God blessed me with the energy and courage to go.
And it was wonderful.
And now I have a handful of "real life", "face-to-face" contacts EACH OF WHOM VOLUNTEERED THEIR PHONE NUMBERS, and greeted me and welcomed me, and I dare say loved me when they didn't even know me yet. Holy crap!! That happens?
Yes. Yes it does. Hallelujah for my new group.
I know I told you already, but I am so so so happy about this!!!! First, so amazed by your courage to go to another unknown meeting. And second, I'm so happy there is a women's only meeting and third, I love that you were welcomed and felt loved. So happy :)
