Speaker Meeting - Sharing your story

Good Evening fellows,

Sharing our story is a key part of recovery. For many members, particularly new comers, there is a strong aversion to sharing their story. For many, whats in the past is something we wish to put behind us. When we say we want to "put something behind us", I think what we really mean is that we want that something to not emotionally disturb or disrupt us. The paradox is, of course, the less we talk about it the more it festers within us deep inside and grows. "You're only as sick as your secrets" as the saying goes.

Sharing your story helps unload that negative energy so that slowly but surely it starts losing its hold over us. Becoming willing & able to share your story is major milestone on the road to happy, joyous and free. As the big book promises "We will neither regret the past, nor wish to shut the door on it." And remember "Sometimes Quickly, Sometimes Slowly, but they will ALWAYS materialize if we work for them"

Happy 24hrs,

David t
