I have finally found myself a home group here in California
It is a noon meeting on Thursdays. My kind of group! I have been hitting various meetings all over my area, and just not feeling "it", yesterday I went to the noon meeting in the next city over from me, and "click", I was home!

:woohoo::woohoo:

I hate floundering.

1. too cool! I never did find a 'fit' in Phoenix
but the group here was like coming home. I'm so glad KW.

AND I just talked to the people who run the two residental treatment centers here in town and they want me to come down about a job

I never was interested in getting into the 'recovery industry' as a newbie, but with my 15th birthday coming up I think I can 'house mother' LOL

2. That is really cool!
Just goes to show, if you do the footwork, good stuff happens.

I figured that eventually I would find a meeting that fit, since there are so many here, I just did not think it would take this long.

3. I think you did awesome KW, I was in PHX for 9 years!
if I really really wanted to feel at home in a meeting I drove 90 miles to Sedona :evilgrin:

which is not to say I didn't attend meetings in AZ just that I never really found a 'home'

6. You would be a great
'house mother'. I never saw this thread.

I'm a newbie and I don't really want to get involved in the 'recovery industry' either, but I am doing vounteer work for a non-profit that does just that. I'm behind the scenes. It gives me something meaningful to do.

:party: Happy Birthday .

4. Congratulations, KitchenWitch.
Sometimes good meetings are hard to find.

I'm still looking for meetings in my area.
The ones I use to go to have really changed,
and now I feel like the odd person out.

:hi:
