[QUOTE="Blondiesbf, post: 466404, member: 12548"] I highly encourage anyone thinking about going...to just go! I arrived early to make sure I was at the right place. Once I knew I was, my eyes started welling up and I pretty much cried the rest of the meeting. I said I was embarrassed and they told me not to be! They were so understanding! They're further in recovery than me obviously but it felt comforting to be amongst people who don't judge me and know what I'm going through! Hubby doesn't come with me and that's okay. He supports my going and someday I will impart what I'm learning on him, if he so desires. I have to do it for me because this is all so...unbearable; hurtful; confusing...you know, all those words that don't always come to mind but you feel!!! They told me to attend 6 meetings before I decide if this is for me. I knew the first meeting! Tomorrow is the newcomer's meeting and I really look forward to it because there is so much I don't understand yet!!! Sig, it took everything I had to go in...but I'll tell you what...[U][B]I[/B][/U] need it. If I want to get better, I need to go. After the first one, you'll be fine. And if you want to cry, go ahead. They've been there! Kathy, you need healing (recovery) too. While I don't get it all yet, I know Al Anon is what I need. I hope you go! Hugs, Sheila [/QUOTE]
