I really want to work at my recovery. I know attending GA Meetings are important. There is a GA Meeting tonight held locally. I attended these GA Meetings several several years ago. The problem was that I was young and a woman and these meetings were mostly made of up men with multiple addictions. To tell you the truth I was scared of them. I went for a few months and stopped. I am sure now that more women are coming forward with this addiction the meeting here may have changed. My problem is that I really want to attend the GA Telephone Meeting Conference Call tonight too. Can you give me your opinion...please??? I can only attend one meeting since they are both at the same time. Have a blessed day... xoxoxo Chargergirl
I think the on-line phone meeting should be if you can't make meetings, if your meetings are on another night, there are no meetings to attend, or any other reason, other than conflicting with a live meeting.
If your live meeting were on another night, I would say please do both!!! Please give your local meeting a try. You are older and you have so much to offer! Please do not be afraid. You need the support and hopefully you will find it there!!!
Let us know what you decide!!!
In a face to face meeting you can see a person's eyes
and they say the eyes are the window of the soul.When
a newcomer comes to their first meeting you can see a broken
soul and a year later that soul becomes healed and spirtual.
And I am pretty sure the On-line phone Ga meeting will grow
and there will be more on different nights.
