Thanks for your reply to my post.....(trust in al-anon)
I would just like to say to you. You have been a good friend to me, since you joined this room. We can share things with eachother, private things. And we have trust both ways.
I don't like to see my friends down, and hurting. I would just like to say to you. There will always be someone who will gossip about you, make up stories or just bring your name down. But remember everyone in this room is here for a reason. They are looking for recovery. Some are slower than others.
Just you concentrate on your recovery. The people who are important to you, know you for who you are. The people who talk about you, well, let them get on with it.
I have always known you to be a genuine, lovely, caring person. Just remember its your friends who count.
I'm asking you to look at Shawn, and concentrate on his recovery. You have come a long way and still have a great deal to travel. So don't let anyone hold you back.
Your good friend in recovery
All
((((((((((((((((((((((((shawn)))))))))))))))sending you a big hug!!!!
I think you just have to try to keep in mind, that some people may not be as far along in their recovery (despite time in the program...we all work at our own pace) as others and still have some work to do. Please don't let a few discourage you, the majority are here for you.
