You did get a good sponsor. I'm happy for you because he has helped you grow so much.

What I quoted above is how I tried to live my life, because needing help seemed...needy.

You're right, it's not and I still have work to do in that area.

Thanks.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
