Went to a different meeting tonight with a much different feel. Still small and lots of individual attention and touchy-feely, but I was prepared for that so it didn't irk my nerves like last time.

And I was able to ask the group about why their motto makes me feel so ashamed. The long-timers equate it with guilt and the newer members said they felt the same way at first.

There was a lot of laughter at this group which kept it from seeming so strained. It's closer to my job and starts late enough that I don't have to take leave to attend. There's a "speaker meeting" next month at another location that I might check out, but I think this group suits me.

I'm still reading the book I got last week, and some of it still feels like BS to me, but a lot of it sounds exactly.like.me!

Thanks for letting me ramble.
