12 Step Meeting Elisabeth Hudson HUMS 113 Professor Eric Comstock 8.01.14 12 Step Meeting One my way to the meeting I was feeling really anxious. I didn’t really know what to expect.

Addiction and Obsession Soc. 301 6/10/13 Upon entering the NA meeting I had mixed feelings. I didn’t know how to come to the meeting knowing my intentions were neither to give nor receive help.

Community Meeting Review For my project I visited the City of Hesperia’s Official Website and reviewed the April 1‚ 2014 City Council Meeting which is available to the public on line. The beginning of the meeting started with a call of order then proceeded to the roll call of the board members.
