Odd feelings...

Tonight I went to another meeting with my neighbors. I am still more than a little uncomfortable at these meetings. Admitting weakness is one of the hardest things for me, so to be in a big room full of people admitting their own weakness is a little unnerving. Even though I am not completely comfortable yet, I am starting to feel that I'm doing the right thing.

Last night's meeting seemed to be tailored specially for me to be there. My neighbor and I talked about a few things in the car before the meeting just so I would know a little bit about what I was walking into. It was weird because she was telling me things that fit exactly how I have been feeling lately. Talking about the loneliness, depression, interventions and experiences we both have had, then we went into the meeting and it just happened that the meeting was talking about EXACTLY the same stuff we had been sharing in the car.

Tonight, I was amazed to hear the same things from other people. It's like people are telling my story with a few twists. The same needs, weaknesses and hopes. I've never really felt like this before. Meeting all these people who know exactly what I've been going through lately and can relate because they've gone through the same things. It's really odd. I'm just floored. I can't find the words to express how I feel right now.

Today was a good day. I stayed sober.
