How did it go? ok i now i'm coing in late in the conversation but i'm genuinly (sp) interested. i used to have have horrible anxiety panic attacks when it came down to if i had to meet people or speak up. i didn't have a sponser at the time to help me through it but the meeting i went to unanimously elected my secretary...that got me over my shyness . people always know what we need. i still am such an anxious person, but i'm a very social person now too. I hope you were able to talk to your 5 people and it wasn't too nerve wraking.
