9. There are 2 members of my new group that had 45 years this year. And they still come to meetings

The only thing is that one of them (who started the third meeting of the three) has been changing it up for reasons I don't know and the other just let for Florida for the winter. At least I know that she'll be back.

And my first home group was a women's group - where I met my sponsor. And the second women's group I went to was one she started - because she wasn't well and couldn't stay up for the original group. But both meetings fell apart - the original one after at least 35 years. Two women who had over 30 years started there. And I'm afraid I have a resentment about that. And it takes me back since I've been given the responsibility of opening the newest meeting of my "new" group, when I'm afraid no one's showing up. Last week and this week there were only 4 of us, including the young guy who is just starting.

The pandemic has made things tough, it seems like we're just starting again. But I am grateful that I had time before the pandemic hit since I know that not everyone was as lucky.
