Practice practice practice

I had recently taken over the secretary job for my home group. I was elected unanimously, as no one else wanted the job. I got to the meeting about 15 minutes early so I could get the coffee started and get organized for the start of the meeting. At that time, I had about seven years of sobriety and considered myself lucky for having found a home group I enjoyed so much. Most everybody there was really friendly and we had a couple of characters who could always be counted on for a good story or joke.
