There it is! You might print this list to remind yourself of why you came in if you ever start wondering if you're in the right place. I know that for me, once I have a few months of sobriety under my belt, it's REALLY EASY to forget what brought me to AA in the first place

I've heard all of those things you haven't done (been in jail, etc.)referred to as "yet"s. I haven't been to jail (yet!). No need to keep drinking just to see what all of those experiences are like

I find the social thing at the end of the meeting pretty awkward too. Now that I've been in the program a few years, I'm much more comfortable - especially at my home group - and I have some people I basically just hug and hang onto for dear life after the meeting lolol. I have a "mom" and "dad" at my meeting (I'm one of the youngest at my meeting) and I just latch on! lolol

One thing that I do sometimes is go up to someone that particularly struck me or touched me or whatever and tell them that I really enjoyed what they shared, that I needed to hear that tonight, etc.

I'm sure the more you go the more comfortable you will feel. If you are ANYTHING in real life like you are on the boards, I'm sure you will become very popular at AA - you're such a special person!

Keep up the good work!
