Hi. I didn't go away. Well I guess I did for a while. But I've been going to F2F meetings and I just wanted to check in here.
Honestly, it's hard to go to the meetings, and hard to post here. It's like, reminding myself of the whole reality that I already live with anyway! I don't want to live telling myself and pretending that everything is fine, but I also don't want to live as a person immersed in a support group 24/7. I haven't found the middle ground yet.
((((RACHEL)))) Hugs to you. I know all too well what its like to try to balance everything. One day at a time... one moment at a time... Take care of you
Aloha Rachel and good you came back with this thread. You are not alone with it and at one time I also felt the same way. What I came to believe was that this group was actually more a different way of living than what and how I was living before I got here. Left to my own devices I had not ever found as much a satisfying way of living; mind, body, spirit and emotions as I had inside of the steps, traditions, concepts, slogans and principles. Keep coming back one day at a time. (((hugs)))
I can identify with this...I also wonder "am I that broken that I need all this and that it's hard besides"......in a way the answer is yes. But I'm resigned...at this point I'll do anything to feel better.
