Thank heaven's it was a small closed discussion group. Even though all I had to do was follow the script I was so nervous. And when it came to qualifying I felt like I babbled like an idiot. Fortunately everyone was really nice.

I think we all remember our first chair. But now that they know you can do it, look for your home group to call on you again.

Chairing a meeting is one of those times when I am about as far from that next drink as I get. You may find this is true for you as well.

Sometimes I get this feeling when chairing, like when I was a kid, and I was invited to move from the kids table and to sit at the grown ups table for Thanksgiving. It was a good feeling then, it’s a good feeling now.

Congrats on moving to the grown ups table

Good for you! I think my first chair was at a woman's meeting that had about 20 people and I don't have a clue as to what I said!

It's good service work - I like hearing people with 90 days as much as someone with 20 years, you can always learn something new!

My first chair was at a treatment center meeting. My friend chaired the meeting and was going on a camping trip, so she asked me to do it. I had like 3 or 4 months. It was also a speaker meeting, and I couldn't find a speaker. I called my sponsor and she had just spoken there, so she said "looks like you're telling your story" and I was like uhhhh wha? I don't have much time......and she pointed out that I probably had more time then the ones in the treatment center, so I chaired and told my told my story all in one wack! It was crazy!!!
