Thanks everyone. I had an awesome time at the conference this weekend. I went down Fri. afternoon for the 3pm speaker, and hooked up with my friends, one of whom was speaking, and we staid until about 10 pm. Then I was back Sat. morning at 9 for a full day of meetings. It was really amazing the speakers were really wonderful. I did run into a bunch of people I knew, and it was mostly ok. I didn't appreciate it when one woman asked if I "finally had some serious time in." I just said, yeah - I'm doing ok, thnaks. I figured my 3 weeks were as serious as anyone elses lol. My friends were great to hang out with on Sat. and they had a recovery bookstore that we went and browsed through, and I wound up buying a bunch of books. It was so nice to be able to look at the books, instead of just ordering on-line. Went to the banquet Sat. night and was at a table with a bunch of people I didn't know, but they were all really nice. Stayed for the keynote speaker, but not the 9 pm speaker as I was really too tired. Went back today from 9 - 3. The sobriety countdown was really a blast, it was the first one I'd ever been too. Anyone with less than 2 weeks sobriety was given a big book, which I thought was nice. And the closing speaker was amazing - she was so inspirational. I'm totally exhausted now, but I had a great time.
There's another 1 day smaller conference in May which is hosting a fantastic speaker, that I'll probably go to too.
