It will be a huge task for me but now that I am officially middle aged, I think it is time! It is mostly for me & I won't publish it! I guess I need to have some legacy by letting the good stuff come out!
What do y'all think?

It can be quite cathartic. I did part mine when I wrote about the crimes my brother committed. If it's what you feel the need to do, then do it.

I say, "Go for it!" The beauty of aging is we do get to do what we want when we want! (((Hugs)))

My sponsor was sneaky. She had me write my memoir... which essentially ended up being my 4th step. ;)

Okay, she wasn't sneaky about it. She was clear... your 4th step is writing your life story. But there ya go. It's a daunting task, but I bet you'll uncover some newfound knowledge about yourself as you do so.

I think it is a wonderful idea!!!
I love delving into family history... so many - including myself - don't know a lot about their family history. Think of the legacy you will leave someone in your family when it is completed!!!
I say GO FOR IT!!

I think it's great! Think of how much you will learn about yourself in the process!

I don't think Aloha, that it will turn into a fourth step because in will not be about the bad as much as the good. I am mostly writing about my life experiences, how I lived my life & certain events & dedicate to my deceased Dad & my mom together or apart. My mom is in assisted living & my parents haven't been married since 1975. I feel the need to show how much I lived & how I just began a new phase in my life! It will take longer than my 4th step. I am taking my time but writing rough drafts.
Thanks to all of you that posted: I needed my assurance that it is the right thing to do!

I am taking a break. Lots of tension at home. My AH is acting out. You all need to hear the things he is saying. & I am not supposed to react? I can't even repeat what he says. He is being a bully & very mean. I lost sleep because of it. I had one sleepless night. I called a crisis line!
