Same thing happened to me, in a way.
I called to get a ride to a meeting, and at first, they told me there was no one available.
The next day I got a call back telling me they had found a ride for me.
When this person came to pick me up,the look on his face suggested, maybe, he was going to kill me, or he thought I was going to kill him!
That situation did not work out

To make a long story short, I got another ride through the hotline, and have a new, good friend who introduced me to my home group,full of great people.
I would not have this new support without that perseverance.
Also, I thought I was nothing without a drink.
The truth was, I wasn't myself with it.
Looking back, I never would do most of the things I did then, now.
I don't treat people the same.
Amazingly, I care about others'.
More interested in helping them, and less concerned with what I'm going to get out of it.
And, I get so much more than I could have ever imagined.
Peace, Tony
P.S This is my second time around. But, this time, I actually practice what I preach. Use what you hear as you need it.
