Lovely post Kitty. I am feeling the gratitude today.
I completed my step 5 last night, for those AAers amongst us. It took every ounce of strength I had to sit and admit my past. But I managed it somehow. My sponsor was lovely and listened and empathised. I wasn't rejected or struck by some sort of lightning bolt from above. Nothing awful, and for that I'm so grateful.
Sas-I understand the depression, it leads us to a dark place. I too have struggled in the past. Try not to isolate. We are all here for you my friend xxx
