HELLO EVERYONE,
Thankyou dave for the words and advice appreciate them. I went back to my meeting after nearly 4 months away last night, and all the fuss was about nothing, they were all pleased to see me and even got a welcome back hug ! Amazing to see the meeting has doubled in size, alot of new ppl, the regualrs were still there, but a shame sum of the old faces wasnt, who knows what has happened to them <!-- s

THE IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDING MEETINGS
One of the topics brought up last night was "i carnt be botherd to come its a hassle to my routine" for exsample if u were having a bbq or their was a footy match on tv ect ect. Many excuses i have used over the 6months i was attending regually, i didnt come man u was on tv, i didnt come i had a bbq. One person at out meet has MS sum weeks he can bearly walk and is very tired, his wife told him not go go last night because he wasnt well but he still came. I commented afterwards and appluded him for coming for some one who has a valid reason not to go (not a excuse) should give everyone in the room insperation, and i was the first to addmit my excuses over the last 10 mnths since starting GA were pretty LAME really.
I took alot out of last night meeting and offerd a bit of advice to, to the new members, i left with the buzz of knolege and satisfaction that i went, Nobody really knows why a CG gambles ,Nobody really knows why the meetings work, they just do, this is the importance of attending them, be it 1 day or a thousand days of the bet u can never take in less good advice and that is what is important to all our recovery.
MEETINGS MAKE IT !
thanks for reading and again ty for all ur suport in the chat room.
