jam,

For me a big part of sobriety was learning how to live life peacefully. Isolating isn't living for me. I worked hard in therapy on my personal issues and I worked hard on learning how be sober.

I think sometimes we women get confused about who we are. I read a lot of books about women and learned how to define myself in a healthy way. It took a long time for me to have healthy relationships in sobriety. Maybe you're not ready just yet?

I hope this makes sense. We are so much more than our sex organs! I read a lot books, like Merlin Stone's "When God Was a Woman" and Jean Shindola Bowen's "Goddesses in Every Woman." Anne Wilson Schaef has some very good books too, I really loved "A Woman's Reality." Barbara Walker's books helped me too.

I was lucky to have a few very good, strong women friends who helped me grow.

I don't know if this will help you with your situation but I hope it does.

Love,

Lenina
