Do you remember the emotions you were feeling when you walked into your first recovery meeting? If you are reading this and have never been to a recovery meeting, you know the emotions I’m talking about. You feel them in your gut every time you start to think about going for the first time. And for those who have walked that lonely mile across the parking lot and into your first recovery meeting, you know that it is a daunting task to go inside.
I believe it is important for us to never forget those emotions of our first recovery night. I know for me that when I walked through the doors of my first AA meeting I was greeted warmly and accepted right away. That meant the world to me and calmed my anxieties, though I would have never admitted that in the moment. So, it is my prayerful goal to share that same warmth and friendliness with every newcomer that comes through our doors on Friday nights.
