Unhappy My Sponsor Suggested.....

My sponsor suggested that I might want to consider going to ACA mtg's.... I thought I would start here first....

I am clean/sober working a 12 step program since 01/22/03.....

Both my parents are sober alcoholics...... they are divorced since I was like 2....
Mom 20 years sober but untreated..... she "used" to go to mtgs.....
Dad 35 years sober w/church and God it works pretty well for him....


I was estranged from both of my parents for many years.. lots of reasons.. my part is I was a junkie and was ashamed....

I reestablished a relationship that works pretty well with my Dad....

My Mom... I had to find and I did... I have been gently trying to reestablish a relationship with her since January of this year.... I made amends and have practiced the principles and she doesn't want a relationship with me...

Anyway it hurts.... not as bad as the first abandonment but it feels like a ripped open scar......
