If you read this.....good luck to you Dallas. I mean that.
Maybe "less sharing" and "more work" is just what the doctor ordered. When I was in my first year or so, I found the more I talked and shared my problems, the bigger they seemed to get - like I was feeding the fire, yanno? I had to, for a while anyway, pull back how much I was talking about what was going on in my life and focus on the solution and working the steps. Some ppl warned me that "I needed to share to heal" but some others who'd been around the block a bunch of times themselves encouraged me to chill on the "sharing" and focus on the "inventorying." .....it made a really big improvement in my recovery.
