Last night I went with my sponsor to my old Home Group (it is still hers). I miss it a lot. It is the best meeting I ever went to. We read and study the Big Book for an hour. Then we spend a half hour talking about something we are thankful for in the past week. It is an intimate group of serious people who have good sobriety, whether old timers or newcomers, and who have a great sense of humor.
I had stopped going to this particular meeting when I started my new job last spring. Why? Because I had to get up at 5:30am, and I do not get home from this meeting until after 10.
But I am feeling less stressed out in my job, now that I have been there awhile. And I really need this meeting in my life. I have been getting my strength and some of my energy back lately, through outside emotional help that I happened to need form a professional. I am thinking that if I commit to this meeting again, God will step in and give me the strngth and the rest I need to make it work with my schedule.
I need a good homegroup just like we all do in recovery. And I cannot think of a better homegroup than these people and this meeting that I love so much. I am going to give this a try. I know that if this is where I belong as a homegroup member, then it will work out. God will help me make it work, right?

Hi Joni Thats a great idea!!!!!!! Rejoin and see what happens!!!!!! Or, hit it a few weeks in a row and then decide...you can always help set up or moderate and go from there.... Trust......it will happen!!!
