No Place Like It
I don't know about everyone else but when I first started going to recovery meetings there was something about them and I didn't even know what this was, but still there was definitely something about them that seemed so very real that I could feel, still I had no idea what it was. It seemed so unfamiliar but also had a certain type of appeal and I wanted to know more about what this was. I couldn't even put into words how to ask about this so I put off doing so hoping that one day I might know why I kept experiencing this at all those meetings. It seemed new to me but yet somehow I knew it wasn't. I couldn't even remember if I had ever been somewhere else where I had experienced this, whatever this was. It seemed like there had been no other place that I'd been before where I had felt this. Later I came to find out exactly what this was that I was experiencing when I started going to those meetings. There was a safety in the meetings that I had not found anywhere else before, or have I been able to find anywhere else.

I embraced the fellowship long before I embraced the program. I am grateful that I was made to feel welcome in a room full of people who looked nothing like me and had very little in common with me except that we drank alike, thought alike and felt alike...thank God my HP gave me listening ears at that first meeting.
