Cheers pal.

I went to my second meeting last night and found it so much easier than last week.

There was a new lad there. 24 year old, good looking lad. He didn’t say a word all night. Then, as I went to get in my car afterwards, he approached me and talked for 5-10 minutes. Said he couldn’t possibly open up in front of a group but found me easy to talk to. I now feel that not only am I helping myself, but helping others. I’ve told him to go back next week and if he doesn’t want to talk in front of the group, I’ll go for a walk with him afterwards.

Excellent work fella. It's heartening to hear that you feel a bit better about things after attending. It's a corny old saying, but it really IS good to talk. You're not alone, you know. And brilliant that this other bloke felt that he could open up to you, and that you were there as a listening ear for him. I wish you nothing but the best going forward.

This could really help you as well as him. Horrible that us men can't open up. I am sat here with a tear in my eye, hiding it from my wife ffs. Seriously why are we not allowed to cry. I admire your bravery, and obviously the other guy can see you're a top man. Remember that. Keep us informed how you get on please.

Brilliant. You’re already part way there to facilitating meetings with actions like that.
