I shared my story for the first time in a meeting yesterday and it made me realize a lot while I was telling it. I’m also a pretty private person so it was new to put myself out there on that level. Thankfully it went well and nowhere near as bad as in thought it was going to be haha.

It’s self awareness coming to light. Always feels good letting others know the real you even tho we hate doing it. Growth.

Good for you. This is part of the process. Remember we share in a general way. Gritty details are for a one on one with our sponsor. If we can talk about it, we can live with it.

Yeah I didnt give details like that. I just did what my sponsor suggested. I also am never a fan of when ppl go down that rabbit hole when they share their story with specifics because I feel like the newer person will only try and relate to that instead of where they’re at. Idk it was cool tho. I was very nervous but I’m glad I did it.
Nice, Amanda!

Excellent. All good stuff. And yes I need to tell my story without turning it into a drunkalog. It’s all about the solution today. I’m super happy for you. It’s a great life in sobriety. One day at a time.
Yeah it’s all good. And I had a rough week so it actually helped me out way more than I thought it would lol

The longer you are sober the greater your story will be too.
Congratulations
