I only listened last night, as I should have, but so many of my thoughts made me think of my own AA recovery.
I found myself thinking ... if I were to share on this it would not be genuine for me to leave part of it out to make others feel comfortable. It is what it is.
The emotional part --- thinking about my mom ---- that's the big thing. I didn't make it through my post without shedding some tears. I sort of wonder if I need to look at therapy (which I've done plenty of) instead of Alanon. I don't know.
P.S. Thank you SparkleKitty.
