Short Shares

So lately, I have noticed that I don't seem to have much to say at AA meetings. I am almost (God wiling) 3 years sober in about a month, and I still attend meetings almost daily. For the past couple of months, I haven't had to much to say at all. Like really short shares, or just saying "I'm just here to listen, thanks". Since I came to AA, I have always had lots to say. I feel like sometimes people are looking at me weird since I am not saying much, maybe because they are used to me talking a lot???

Anywho, when I say something about that I haven't had much to say lately, nobody really says anything about it. For some reason, it scares me, probably because I don't understand it. For the past couple of months, I have been dating a wonderful man, and most of the time I have no complaints. And if something does come to mind, it's usually only a sentence or two. So sometimes I share that sentence or two, and then I shut up. Also my attention span is short, and if other people are sharing for more than a few minutes, I notice it's harder for this addict to keep atuned.

Blah. I hate s**t I don't understand!!!!! Anybody ever had this happen to them or have any ideas about it?!?! Please share, hahaha, thanks

Peace Love n Hugs

Jessie

Jessie -


     Sometimes we just have nothing to say. We pull back and are just a little more contemplative than usual, lost in our own thoughts. As long as it doesn't last too long, It's not a bad thing...

We cannot be " on" every moment- just as activity and rest go together- we must have times of reflection. There are phases of the moon and seasons- they compliment each other ... It is all part of the bigger whole. Nia
