Is it ok to just listen and not participate much? I’m an introvert and meetings scare me but I know I need to do more than just cold turkey because I’ll slip like every time before.
You absolutely can just listen
Ok, thank you. There were loads of people on there and I got freaked out so I left but I’ll try again later.
It can be intimidating for sure! Im not sure about the AA zooms but i know on the Intherooms app (which has various 12 step meetings), u dont have to even show ur face. U click on the button if u want to share and then when its ur turn, u can share with video or just share with no video on.
For sure…many people just go to listen and keep video off and don’t share till they are ready. Go at your own pace but do seek out support as it helps to have others who understand the addiction struggles that we are going through
Thanks, I’ll give it a go later when my daughter is asleep. I’ve had a lot of counsellong but I mever found that talking about the alcohol issue helped in the dame way that it did for other issues I’ve had. I wonder why that is.
