Whoa!! What a meeting tonight! I actually spoke for the 1st time, it was a last minute thing and I hadn’t a clue I would be asked. I felt like sharing on a thread because I feel so lifted about this night.

I'm 100 days sober today. Tonight was an anniversary night which is always a pretty good meeting. I got there early and ended up setting up. The normal person couldn't make it. It was my 1st time setting up for this kinda meeting. Funny thing I didn‘t have a clue and told myself “hmm its 10 minutes after six, no ones here, I better start the coffee“. Def wasn't planned that way. So after that one of the celebrants approached me 10 minutes before the meeting started and asked me to speak. I was beyond scared plus I truly wanted my sponsor to be there for my 1st time. She normally did not attend this meeting. So I admitted I was uncomfortable but I’d do it. I felt honored this person who is sober 25 years this month had asked me. Another funny thing, my sponsors husband walks in, meaning she would be right behind him. Sure enough she was and she too was speaking! The 2nd celebrant asked her to. Neither of us knew the other was even attending this meeting tonight. Sometimes I truly believe things happen for a reason. She spoke 1st, than I followed. I shared for 20 minutes. 100 days ago I walked into that same Tuesday night meeting with no clue, and here I am today with friends there, listening to my story. The celebrant I spoke for said she was so glad she asked me to speak because I even inspired her. That she intended on asking me days before because there was things about me that she saw in herself. And things she saw in me that she wanted to be like as well. Everyone in my group said my story was great & really moved them. Right now I feel wonderful that I faced a big fear of mine, speaking to a large group. I scared myself into a nervous wreck for nothing! Because not only did I overcome it, I wasn’t bad at getting my message across. It was truly rewarding and such a great feeling. This program works if you work it. And that’s truly what I intend on doing. I know to take it one day at a time, that not everyday will be great, but I know I do not have to drink over it.
