Hi Kat,  Congratulations on your success.  I am so happy for you and I can see you are happy for yourself.  You know, it is up to us to make the decision to quit.  Our loved ones can yell at us and get angry all they want but when it comes right down to it, we have to have that epiphany within ourselves to know and understand the "why’s" of stopping the insanity.  Great job!
One of your rewards is going to see Britney Spears with your daughter and spending such valuable, quality time together, doing something you both love.  You know, my granddaughter went to see Britney Spears too.  Her mother took her and she loved it.  She is such a great performer and you guys will have a blast. 
I cried too at my first GA meeting.   I was brave and stood tall when I first went into the room but when it was my time to tell my story, I could hardly get it out.  The tears that I held back for so long, came rushing out.  It was very cleansing for me.  I did finally get it all out and was told that most people do cry at the beginning.  If it helps, keep going. 
Take care and keep posting.  Danielle
