NA meeting this evening. I’ve been meaning to go for quite a while now, but haven’t quite made it. I did find the Northern California NA Region website the other day and ordered the new edition of the basic text and the a new medallion with XIII on it for 13 years clean (click thumbnail to enlarge):
My new 6th Edition Basic Text and 13-year Medallion
I started wearing the medallion again because lately I’ve been needing to remember where I
came from, and where I’ve been. I’ve been feeling that I need a bit more recovery and a lot more “grounding” in my life lately. So getting that and putting it on was a start. Every day for the last few days I’ve been looking at the
San Jose Area meeting schedule for a meeting to go to. Tonight I actually decided on one and went.
It was just what I needed, and just what I needed to hear. I’m very glad I went, and will try to make this a regular thing.
My only problem is that I’m very shy around people I don’t know and I don’t make friends easily. Of course, my friends will probably tell you that I’m full of crap, but they’ve never been to an NA meeting with me. I’ve been so good at isolating for the last four years that stepping out of that shell I’ve built for myself is very difficult and extremely scary. I’m comfortable in my misery, and stepping out of that to get rid of my misery is … scary.
Anyway… I’m blathering. I should get ready for bed, tomorrow’s probably going to be a long day. Thanks for visiting and
Keep Coming Back!!!]]>
I think alot of us could use a bit of shaking up, the chocolaty shell of goodness called the comfort zone needs a good bite removed now and then.
Congrats on taking the first step.
Oh sweet! The picture plugin works in Safari on the iPhone!
