fieldnotes 6

A small meeting with three people-

A boy walks in that looks a lot younger than me

---I wonder why he is here

an old man is going to lead the meeting

---i hope he doesnt put me to sleep

start to talk about the stories and the younger boy tells us he got a DUI and his parents are making him attend thirty meetings in thirty days

---Ive heard that this is a common thing for people to do

asks if anyone wants a coin and no one needs one

---i want to ask for one but im too afraid!

An older lady made snacks for the meeting

---YUUUM! glad i came to this one

We talk about how important is to make amends with people -- well alcoholics.. for people they have hurt

---i think i could probably do this with a couple people myself.. even though im not an alcoholic

everyone tells about who they hurt in there life.. i say my mom.. because ive put her through a lot in my day

---i think the people respect that i am participating

meeting ends the normal way

---smiles :)
