I currently do not have a Home Group, I have in past but unfortunately it folded. What I liked it was so welcoming. I drove 30 minutes each way to attend. There are few groups I attended regularly that I like, and here is why:
- Welcoming, especially to new members.
- Mix of sobriety length, new members and others with lot of experience.
- Celebrate anniversaries, where else can people congratulate you for being sober.
- Many people know each other, shows members keep coming back.
- Organized - most meetings are
- Mix of readings, but not to many. Do not like is when spend 20 minutes of meeting doing readings. Takes away from discussions.

I use to be afraid about walking into a new meeting alone, but once in door, fear went away. I tell myself I was never afraid to walk into a bar by myself, a meeting is a much safer space. You can sit and just listen.

If you attend one do not like, try a few times or look for another meeting.
