In other thoughts - and this is interesting - over the past 5 weeks or so I have developed a very casual bond with a guy in my group therapy sessions. We gravitated toward each other almost immediately. It turns out that he is in a 12-step program which I have known all along. I have not said anything to him about it. He does not know that I was previously addicted to alcohol. He does know that I do not have any spiritual beliefs. We sit next to one another during group and just kind of look at one another and smile a lot. He is married and his wife just had a new baby last week.
There's something really special about the way we kind of just connected and I thought I would share that.
