How are you today?

[Talby]

I'm feeling the best I've felt since . . . maybe 2008! On the advice of the lovely posters of GS, I decided to attend an AA meeting. I had to purchase a tube for my bike's rear tire, though, and it took me a while to muster the courage to walk to the bike shop. Yes, my social anxiety is that bad, I was not kidding XD
Anyway, after I actually bought the tube, the walk back home was pleasant, unlike the anxiety-wracked way there. So that was three days ago; I attended the meeting on Wednesday. While it wasn't for me, I don't think, it did give me a chance to socialize with a large group of people. It inspired me to find a group that is right for me, though, and so I think I have!
I can't post links yet (or respond to messages . . . almost to 20 posts!), but it's a social anxiety meetup group based in OC. I'll be trying out a meeting very soon, I'm just waiting for the right event (they have different locations and activities).

Sorry for telling a story in a slightly inappropriate thread, I didn't want to bump my old one or create a new one, heh. I'm just so excited!!
