My secret life has been revealed...

...to someone else. Last night I went to a SAA meeting and a female came to the same meeting, that was a former co-worker of mine. I knew she was alcoholic and she had freely discussed that at work. But knew nothing of this sort about her. I was embarrassed to be seen by her and felt ashamed to be at these meetings. I know it was only a matter of time before I would run across someone at a meeting that I know. Still, it's embarassing to be seen by anyone. Part of me still wishes to put on appearances of being an "outstanding, upright person". So I've got to work through that issue. Part of me is afraid that she might talk to other former co-workers, though part of me really doubts it. I think she felt embarassed to see me too. She's done nothing in the past to me to think she'd want to hurt me, but my mind wants to play with me a little. I was hoping to chat with her after the meeting, but she left early. So all I'm going to do right now is continue to concentrate on myself. I'm sure I'll run into some other people at some other times, that I know, and I'll deal with that then. I don't have to spend all my time and energy obsessing about something in the future that may or may not happen. I need to worry about today. Right now. I need to work on getting my life into a positive place.
