Was asked to speak and tell my story tonight at a meeting that I don't attend on a regular basis. Was nervous at first, talked to my sponser who told me that it is my story, how can you f*** it up. Now I am excited as can be, I feel that it will be a great experience for me and I pray that I may be able to help at least one person! Yesterday was my 11th month of soberiety, and I know that I have been graced by GOD !! I hope I can hold myself together tonight and not become overly emotional. If there is anyone out there that has any doubt about this program working, have faith that it will. This is coming from a man that was an active alcoholic for 30 yrs. I know that this works. Love and peace to all. Damn I can't believe how my life has changed!!
You'll be great joby ... ... ... I remember my first time to speak at a speaker meeting ... nervous as cat about to fall into water ... (they even had a guy on 'standby' right there in case I chickened out ... LOL ...) ... ... ... I had made a list of Jeff Foxworthy type jokes to start with ... you know, 'if you wake up in a different state than when you started drinking ... you might be an alcoholic' ... I had about 10 of them and they went over BIG ... then when the laughing quieted down, I did the meeting ... it was just like sharing at a regular meeting except I got to share longer, LOL ...
You'll be great ...
