Well, if all goes as planned, tomorrow I will be attending my first meeting in about 19 years. I am very excited about it. I have not felt pressured by anybody to go to meetings. I know it is my only hope. As a matter of fact, I have been wanting to go back for some time now. It is way overdue and the time is now.
Thank you for letting me share this.
Jodi,
That is great news.. I am so happy to hear you've made the choice to go, especially if you truly believe it will benefit you and make you stronger. You are very brave. That is a huge step. Please keep us posted on how it goes. Take care! Rae

Hi Rae and Wendy.
Well, Wendy, I don't plan on being very forthcoming about where I am going. But my hope is that if I can get a few meetings in, I will feel like I have someone/something to back me up to finally stand up for what I want and what I need. After another awful evening, I finally said to myself "What have I got to lose?" Nothing...right now I have absolutely nothing. A certain someone can't hurt me any worse than his words already have. So I don't give a s*** anymore.
Thanks for the well wishes.

Good for you, Jodi. Just walk in there, grab a seat, and sit back and listen. Don't forget to introduce yourself as a newcomer so they give you phone numbers. Let us know how it goes.
WTG Jodi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just awesome! And no, you are not a slow learner. Sometimes it just takes time for us to accept that we are powerless over this disease and that we need help.
Some people never get to that place and they die.
I am so proud of you for taking steps to help yourself.
Love, Kat

This is great news! I went back to meetings after 10 years and it was hard at first but it got continually easier the more I went to. My ego was so big I thought everyone would be wondering what happened to me and where I had been. The people I knew from before were still there, doing the deal, being of service, helping the newcomer and reached out to me to support me.

I couldn't be happier for her. She's getting a second chance at life.
