^^^ THIS ^^^ absolutely.

I worked on childhood issues for a period of time years ago, then kind of drifted away w/a lot of unfinished business. Now working w/SR and Alanon, I had been working on A-related issues more. This thread has helped me see that I need to tie the two together if I hope to recover fully.

Thanks especially to those who shared about their own childhoods in A or otherwise dysfunctional homes and how that has affected them into adulthood. I'm remembering a LOT and have my "Alanon glasses" to help me see it so much more clearly than before. My biggest feeling is how I've wasted years, energy and opportunities b/c I simply had no clue how to go about making a life, having friends, learning, growing. I had no role models, no idea....well, thanks to SR, I'm starting to get some of BOTH!

May I live long enough and well enough to make up for that wasted time!
