I joined a class that met weekly a few years ago but the class ended due to poor participation. I had big plans to finish my icon at home but never did. (Maybe I should say "not yet!") Congratulations on your perseverance, Mary Christine.<br /><br />As far as meetings....I too have definite preferences and feel lucky to live in a city with lots of different meetings. There was only one little group in the town where I got sober. Somehow it worked! Eternally grateful for that!!!<br /><br />Ann P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-69076296654057054182010-05-31T08:16:54.867-06:002010-05-31T08:16:54.867-06:00I think you hit on the secret.

We go to the meetings that are good for us; the ones in which we can not only receive the message, but occasionally give back as well. <br />This can be different for all of us. It's not up to me to say what's a good meeting for you -- and vice versa.dAAvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378341182741173178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-84754113432563244012010-05-31T07:42:32.276-06:002010-05-31T07:42:32.276-06:00I think the home group just feels like home--comfo...I think the home group just feels like home--comfortable and with a lot of good times as well as ability to comfort each other.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-73064682126921988242010-05-31T05:02:07.589-06:002010-05-31T05:02:07.589-06:00MC, I dropped by to see if you perhaps had a Memor...MC, I dropped by to see if you perhaps had a Memorial Day message, and you have been back since THURSDAY!

It sounds like the southern group knows this, and the northern group just isn't there yet. <br /><br />in al-anon, we suggest 6 meetings for this very reason. each group has a different flavor, a different flare. <br /><br />I'm glad you have your older group, and God.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805281199840274328noreply@blogger.com
