I Really needed that Wolfstar !!!

I was just coming back to say something positive - thot the negativity was why noone answered..I'm so grateful you did...I am so used to providing support to others and "being a good Sponsor" and good example of Sobriety" in AA, that my Mental Heath problems don't have a place there..many old timers don't understand that mental illness is a separate issue of brain chemistry that any amount of Step work cannot "cure" as some have said..So I have difficulty reaching out there...
I have a mental Health Support Group that my Dr. runs, but the people there have so many more issues than I do, that it is difficult for me to get alot out of it..not that I feel superior..I am open-minded and listen hard for any "gems" I can glean..I know fm AA that I always learn SO MUCH from the New Comers..(Hope it is OK to talk about AA here - it is so much of my life experience)
I actually Have done some positive things today..Dishes, breakfast....................see - up for a few secs then down again...I HATE THIS !!!!!!
I love my dog - had Boxers all my life - she's a retired Canadian Champ - 6 yrs....puppys are a REAL handful..Really important to train boxers well or it is a life of ****.....but love

thanks again - sorry to ramble - really needed this
