That is why I posted about sharing with others outside of AA and it making me feel intensley humand and understood. for they too could identify and nod their heads. where as in a meeting, some would have turned it into a symptom of alcaholisim, which maybe true. but not for me. not today.
Thanks music, you made a lot of sense. |
That feeling of seperation is due to unfinished amends compiled with quite possibly some unwritten inventory..If you are free you do not need to be an individual or stand out or stand in..If you are free, wont need to be seperate or confined or attached..
Your "need" to retain your sense of individuality can be fatal if you are an alcoholic
