I went to my first AA meeting last night. You guys were right, it was pretty uncomfortable. I also didn't do a whole lot of research going into it, all I did was read a little about open and closed meetings, I figured I fit into the closed type so I found one and went. That was it. I didn't know what to expect. I didn't realize that I'd be sitting there and that I was supposed to share my bit, I sort of I had this idea of more of a back and forth conversation with people. I'm very introverted and I don't like public speaking at all so that was really hard for me but I did feel at peace once I had said my bit and was just able to listen to others. It was nice to have other people around that I could relate to and it was nice to hear other people's success stories and perspectives. I think I ought to search out more open meetings though, maybe start with that, and hopefully keep up the courage to go to a closed one every once a in while too.
