Service has always been a big part of my recovery and it continues to get stronger with each day that I stay clean. However, one of the things I have always wanted to do was bring a meeting into the womens jail. So finally when I had two years clean I started to go to the H&I sub-committee meeting in my area.
Yesterday, I was the speaker at a womens adult detention center. It was AWESOME, to give back what has been and is still so freely given to me. I connected so well with these women because I too had had my first NA meeting in a womens detention center.
It truly is the best feeling to share and connect with other women in the program.
Thank you I am so grateful to be part of this program.

Happy Holidays
