It's been awhile

Tonight I had dinner with a few friends and then attended my "home" meeting.  It's been almost four months since I last attended.  Between graduate school, work, and my little daughters, it's been impossible for me to attend.  Dinner was nice and I caught up on what has been going on with my friends.  I was asked to lead the meeting and it was a "Big Book" chapter meeting.  It was really nice to be back and to be able to talk to someone.  It has been very difficult at times lately and I really could have used someone to talk to about what has gone on these last few months. With school starting again in September, I don't think I'll be able to go to another meeting until December.  It'll be a longtime and I'm sure it won't be easy, but I do have some support at home and I can always use the phone.  I think I'll be making a few calls.
