Ok -- I _am_ going to go to an OA meeting this Friday. There are several meetings in my area; the Friday one meets my schedule needs this week.
I'm so nervous! I'm scared to go in and start questioning publicly -- could I have a problem, and if so, what can I do about it?
Also, I know it's maybe unfair but -- I think of 12-Step as being filled with unhealthy, unsuccessful "victims" of life. People who will identify the problem but not get over it. I don't want to blame others or any crap like that; I just want to change my behavior. I really want to have healthy friends and be surrounded by healthy people.
Does anyone know who to gravitate towards and who to avoid in these meetings? I don't want to exchange numbers with people who are going to call me and cry over something minor; I want to meet positive people.
