I feel good when I share at meetings

I feel good when I share at meetings



Even though I can't always put into words just what I have in mind, I am now sharing at my meetings and my fellow members are listening to me. I realize how good it feels to say what I'm feeling and be known.

I have been shy and reserved much of my life, but in treatment eventually I got used to seeing a circle of people looking at me. And it got easier to think on my feet. Now at my regular Step meeting, I like it when they pay attention to me. I feel like a part of the group. I feel especially good when someone thanks me for sharing.

From:Today I will do one Thing

I feel just as good and most of the time even better that i can listen to what others are sharing and express my gratitude towards them opening up. It goes both ways. I love feeling a part of the group but i really do like it better when i can help someone else feel a part of the group.
