Hard to please everyone Bettie!
In future just remind yourself that your happiness or your recovery do not depend on invitations to parties or "eatouts"!
I used to get hung up on things like that, nowadays I let a lot of things go over my head.
Action versus REaction!
Makes life simpler!
Still no word from my friend!!! Some we win, some we lose, I quess!
Regarding you GA speech B, why not record it and then you can play it back to fine tune the emphasis, pauses etc etc. That public speaking tip was given to me a ling time ago. Nowadays I just speak my mind if people dont want to hear, TOUGH!
You ll do well Bettie! Your sincerity will have more impact than your actual words.
The first (well only really) GA Awareness Evening I attended was excellent. Every speaker told their story from their heart. One man kept breaking down but was shown great support by the audience and fellow speakers.
When is it B?
