Thanks lg.
I am not sure if they have been cropping up more than usual, but I have had a few pops of memory in the past few days....I remember falling apart about a week after I did my step 4 inventory in AA - and my sponsor told me something that still resonates. Acknowledge these memories of "awfulness" ... then put them in a little box compartment in my head. They're "there" but they don't have power or dominance any more. I did many bad things, if you will, so who knows what might come up when, but I have a way to handle it and not let shame grip me (again).
Thanks for sharing.
