Teen meetings in Tampa/ Clearwater area
(Preview)
My son is 17 & is wanting to attend a meeting for the first time. We need to find out if he can go by himself, as he is NOT wanting mom & dad to tag along with him. (not COMPLETELY comfortable with this, but trying to deal) Does anyone know if he CAN go by himself?

When things go wrong as they sometimes will. when the road you're trudging seems all uphill. when the funds are low and debts are high and you want to smile but you have to sigh. when care is pressing you down a bit.
