Have a very good friend got himself in some trouble drinking and driving which made me think about my own actions I found a meeting in my town I think I'm going to go I'm afraid I don't know what to expect and I think I will fall apart if I have to get up and speak to people if anybody has any advice about their first time trying this you can maybe tell me or not thanks all

You should not, and no one will expect you to, say anything in your first meetings. You're supposed to just listen

You're welcome buddy and good luck. I can relate because I felt the same way but they kind of have a rule some places won't let you speak for like the first 10 meetings. They want you to just sit and listen

Okay well that actually makes me feel better because I'm a very emotional person and I'll end up standing there balling my eyes out like a little girl telling my stupid life story thanks for talking with me

Richard don't be afraid to share your experience strength and hope. Even if you have a few hours of sobriety what you share just might help someone who's struggling.
