I came here from your other thread where you wondered how to get people to respond...I guess you've learned that you just need a little patience...something we alcoholics/addicts don't usually have much of, since we're into "instant gratification".
I can't add much to what has already been said by others here...but, your other thread reminded me of a time I went to an Al-Anon meeting where everyone seemed to know each other...I kept raising my hand, and the leader kept ignoring me...I never went back. Actually, I found the answers I needed in the rooms of AA!
I didn't want you to feel ignored or unwanted, so, I've come to say, "Hi, and welcome to SR, Sarah!"
