I'm getting my one year medallion tomorrow night at my home group. But what makes me really happy is the number of people who have said they're coming to the meeting for me. Everybody from my Sun. night group is coming and a good chunk of my Sat. morning group is comming too. It makes me feel really good to know I have people who care about me. I've always tended to isolate myself and to think that people don't like me, mainly becuase I have trouble with liking myself. But the people in AA are so amazing. They've seen me at my very worst, and heard about some of the really stupid things I've done while drinking, but they've hugged me instead of rejecting me. And they've helped me to change a whole bunch to not be so afraid of people. And they're showing me that maybe I do have some value as a person, just by being there. It just amazes me, the number of great people I've met through AA.
