I went to a meeting tonight...and it was a good one. For the first time I left feeling better than when I came. I honestly shared my struggle and resistance and the feeling of being lost. I also heard some wonderful sharing..there were a couple others there as well who were new to this city's program as they had started recovery elsewhere.
I will perserve..and yes, extend myself rather than pout in the corner over the warm and fuzzy crowd I left out east.
Hooray I just read this! Glad you are reaching out. It's hard for me sometimes... I had isolated for so long... it was my way of life. Anything that felt like the slightest bit of risk was foreign to me. I had to relearn how to be a social human being again. xxoo Glad you are well.
