Meetings

We attend meetings, which enable us to identify, experience and share those feelings which we have repressed and often lead to the further onslaught of our obsessive/ compulsive behavior. By hearing others open up to their innermost feelings of their fears and defects, we are more able to find the willingness to be more honest, and freer in our pursuits.
