First Al-anon meeting last night


Last night was my first Al-anon meeting :)

It was scary at first.  when I pulled into the parking lot, I sat in the car for a couple of minutes with butterflies in my stomach.

I almost passed when it came to my turn to introduce myself.  It felt good to get it out to peers that are living the same thing I am and that understand me.  Everytime I spoke I getting choked up and fighting back the tears, a typical male thing,lol.

The group of people there were absolutely amazing and I can say with 100% certainty that this will be a regular Wednesday night event for me, Tim Horton's in hand :)

I am so glad I went :)

(((hugs))) to all of you for being so strong.
