kjell, everyone else here has offered very good advice and word-smithing suggestions. I just want to say thanks for sharing because it made me smile and hope that one day, I too will receive some acknowledgment for the horrid experiences of the last 4 years. Congrats on your sobriety and your sincerity today.
I hope you won't be disappointed by a negative outcome, though. As shellcrusher said, our wounds can run very deep, especially if we haven't done anything to address them (like work our own program).
Good luck to you!
