0 for 2 in OA Meetings
Hey everyone... Last time I wrote I mentioned how I showed up for an OA meeting at noon and it turned out to be an Al-Anon meeting. They were very nice and let me stay, and one of the women spoke to me afterwards and said the meetings were Monday nights at 5:30. After that I spoke with the contact person from the OA site and she very nicely offered to meet me at the meeting place to give me reading materials, etc - this is because I couldn't go to the next meeting due to a commitment with my son. So I went tonight - and noone was there! I waited about 10 minutes and still noone showed. I knew from the woman that I met at Al-Anon that there were only 4 people in the meeting. After about 10 minutes - and unfortunately I didn't have any phone numbers with me - I left. It is summer and it is busy so I just figured that they had other things going on. I came home and called the contact person - she had lost track of time and didn't look at the clock until I called (45 minutes after meeting time). She was very apologetic - and I do understand - things happen. For instance, I can't go for the next two weeks due to another commitment (swimming lessons for my son). But, I was disappointed. That makes me 0 for 2! I sat there in the room by myself thinking - is this a sign? There is one more meeting in my town - but I had met the woman that went to this meeting, but now I just don't know what meeting to go to. Anyway, not really a question or anything - but just wanted to update on my...non-progress, I guess! Thanks for listening!
