I don't have advice for said gift Meatball I just wanted to post because your post moved me normally as a rule I don't read other people's gratitude but felt pulled towards yours and after reading it I think it reminded me of what that feeling your feeling feels like .. pretty good
I remember a friend once saying to me show them through your sobriety and remember not everyone is ready to forgive at first .. everything takes time
Not sure if you have asked Dee74 about help with making a plan the guy has some pretty awesome tools that will really strengthen your recovery
Sorry for going on but keep on keeping on Meatball
In this together
