Question by ronswife: Calling all Alcoholics Anonymous members in NJ (morris co.) or surrounding…?
I am very shy and I have a hard time speaking in public (without alcohol).
Last time I tried AA meetings, I felt like an outcast. I found it to be very cliquey. It was hard for people to accept me. (or maybe it was hard for me to open up and accept my disease?)
I wasn’t able to find a sponsor or anyone to talk to, for that matter….
Needless to say, I started drinking again.
I need to go to meetings, but I am afraid that I will not be accepted, again.
My constant anxiety will keep me from speaking at meetings and getting the sponsorship that I need!
I know that alot of alcoholics and drug addicts suffer from anxiety and depression. I am hoping there is someone out there, right now, from NJ that can steer me in the right direction.
Please, don’t bother commenting if you are going to belittle me!!!!
