Summary

Ashley S is sharing her story at the Thursdays All Welcome Speaker Meeting held in November of 2023. I just added an event that is happening very soon (9-11th) in Texas, The Texas Al-Anon Alateen Conference details here: https://scast.us/texalateen Update on the discussion survey from the last week, I was surprised by how many people responded (thank you for doing that) the vast majority were in favor of it, so I am going to move forward with it. It will be a private forum, that was in the lead by quite a bit followed by discord then a facebook group and all the rest after that. It surprised me a bit I was thinking it would be discord but it was a distant second. It will take me a couple of weeks to get it set up, forums have a million settings to tweak and Ill make it as private as I can. I will let you know as soon as its ready, again thank you. If you have any AA or Al-Anon event coming up let me know I am happy to help get the word out. https://scast.us/events Email: sobercast@gmail.com Support Sober Cast: https://sobercast.com/donate AA Event List: https://scast.us/events If you have an AA roundup, retreat, convention or workshop coming up, we would be happy to give you a shout out here on the podcast and list the event on the Sober Cast website.

0:29.3	I'm actually.
0:31.3	So when I was asked to speak at this meeting, I coped a quick resentment against Jose,
0:41.0	just momentarily.
0:42.0	I forgive you now.
0:44.0	Yeah, this isn't my favorite thing to do is get up in front of people and speak.
0:50.0	I struggle with panic disorder or panic attacks, and anxiety like really bad.
0:55.0	But when I first came into the rooms, my first stint was in 2018 and I was told when you're asking you a service don't say no.
1:05.0	And so no matter how badly I want to say no,
