Went To A Live GA Meeting Yesterday
I went to my first live GA Meeting yesterday. I still like the anonymous nature of the GA Telephone Meeting. But I am committed to the GA program and recovery. I knew I had to go to a live meeting again. It's hard to face someone directly and tell them you have a problem. It makes me feel very weak and vulnerable. I am not used to that. At work I cannot be weak nor vulnerable (my clients depend on me). In my personal life being separated I cannot be weak nor vulnerable (my kids depend on me). But in all honesty I do feel weak and vulnerable to this addiction. The meeting structure was different than I remember. I probably won't go back to that meeting but I found two other meeting places that I want to try. I was the only woman last night so again that makes it a little difficult even though everyone was very nice and welcoming. Let's keep fighting the fight!!! xoxoxo Chargergirl

I wish you could come here to our meetings - it is mostly women. Seriously! I am surprised at how outnumbered the men are at almost all the weekly meetings! I talked to a GA friend in another state and they were telling me that they had 30 folks at their meeting and it was split evenly. I thought we had high attendance. I am so sorry you couldn\'t find a comfortable place there; I have made a lot of friends at my GA mtgs, friends I can call and text with. I hope you find that soon. Take care and hang in there. Keep fighting the fight! Lots of love, Renee
