Bee-Gee... Good for you. I know the feeling. It is exactly what happened to me the first time I went to a meeting. I sat there and cried. Couldn't say much, but looking back I think it was relief more than anything that caused the tears.
I left there feeling like I had gone to the right place, but sad because I then new my problems and what I was dealing with was very real. I cried for what seemed like forever... but you are right... you will be ok. You are taking care of you and I try to look at the tears as washing away some of the pain.
Keep taking care of you! HUGS!
