Gotcha. Sometimes I just hear poor advise given at Alanon or Celebrate Recovery meetings from sponsors, and I just want people to realize those sponsors are not normally trained in counseling are are lay people. I have seen some people take what they say as the gospel when it's nothing like what a counselor would say.
Recovery is a rocky road. Sending you big hugs!
I resonate w/the "goody too shoes" as my XAH always said that about me. Indeed, I was simply trying to figure our my own recovery and well being. Ugh.
