for what its worth... old timers and newcomers can teach each other if both are open to learning. i am in recoveryy (aa) and i have seen alot of people leave that program because of old timers passing harsh judgement. i myself have bee one of the newcomers that left. so barb, you speaking in that manner does stir up things for me. now i dont care how long someone has db'ed for. just as i dont care how long someone has been sober. the people i listen too are the ones who deal with solutions and have compassion. i have learned things from my kids because my heart and mind are open. it doesnt matter how old or how long you have done something. it matters what you have learned and how you implement those changes.
Brit-
hey. i will post here. not sure why or what to say. i have been struggling a bit so i might as well. its good to hear you are still reading. i dont know how you do it. i think you will survive this and thrive. just dont give up. you are a strong and smart woman. recognize the obstacles and think of the solutions.
