I actually hate celebrating, I don't mind speaking or leading a meeting, but I'm not comfortable making it all about me. So I really like this new group I joined when everything else shut down since it's a literature meeting and they just acknowledge anniversaries at the end. So what happened tonight? The guy who leads the meeting said we'd skip the literature tonight since it was my anniversary and I had to speak. I can't remember what I said, told a bit of my story and they gave me a coin so I guess I did okay.
