As a non-alcoholic, I gave myself some really humiliating times (fired,ex-husb,afraid of social services etc). I confessed some of this to a member after a mtg, her comforting non judging attitude and words were 'these are just human troubles'. And they were, and they took their place in my history and now it is better because of the grace of God and because of program.

You write in such a way, that I-or any one who reads- lived that year right along with you. <br /><br />This was good! Don't stop, even if it hurts. <br /><br />Great writers put themselves, their hearts and souls, into their work, and you are doing that each day here.<br /><br />Thanks.
