It's the Ontario Regional Conference here this coming weekend, and I'm really looking forward to it. I had a blast at it last year. But I let myself get talked into volunteering to be a greeter. It's only for 2 hours on Sat. afternoon but little social phobic me is already freaking out. I mean it's basically just standing around welcoming people, shaking hands and giving out directions and answering questions, but I'm still afraid I'll totally botch it up.

And I've been accepted as a volunteer on our intergroup's telephone lines. I had my training yesterday. Compared to what I get on the phone lines at the psych hospital, I think AA will be relatively straight forward. My sponsor volunteers and she says that the majority of calls are just people needing info about meetings. I'll only be doing one Sat. afternoon shift every 4 weeks, so it definitely fits into my schedule without any trouble. My first shift is in 3 weeks. I'm a little nervous, but it should be good.
