We keep what we have by giving it away.

How did it go END?
It's always a tough one being *the* speaker/share. I dislike doing it but always do so when asked [thankfully it's not too often]. Everyone I know, under a goodly number of years clean, think they speak a load of crap when they share from the body of the room or as *the* share/speaker. We don't have 'podiums' in our fellowship. We sit in a circle. I like the circle, I like how the energy mixes and flows in a circle.
It's come to pass that by sticking around for a few days in a row, doing the work and getting 'in the middle of the boat' as they say, that I do quite a lot of speaking in fellowship meetings. Right now I feel like a 'professional' chair-person, which requires lots of speaking...thankfully, not about myself! 
Is there anyone here who does multiple meetings a week?
