Thanks for the info about Pag_Rec - I'll pass it on. Again, let me
emphasize, I didn't mean to take YOUR head off in that other message -
you are not the problem.
Actually, these other people aren't the problem either - it is how I am
reacting to them, which you can see by my last message isn't good
either.
I loved the Neo-Pagan Barbie, Wand, Athame and Pentacle sold
seperately.
However, I do want to add something, you may have noticed that I don't
really share or say anything beyond the superficial even here. A sad
side effect of this whole business is that now I don't really trust
anyone on the recovery echoes. I want to, but I don't because I feel
like whatever I share some self-appointed fellowship authority is going
to take my inventory and decide what is or is not pertinent to my
recovery in a given area. I don't know about anyone else, but I am a
WHOLE person and I can't just divide myself up the way they want me
too. I was fragmented enough as an abuse survivor, I don't need
further fragmentation. I don't have one compartment for my Alcoholism
recovery that is seperate from my whole life and another for my drug
addiction and another for my incest survivor issues and another for
codependency problems, etc. ad infinitum, ad nauseum. I believe the
12th step really MEANS what is says when it tells us that the first 100
people to use the steps recovered as a result of "Practis(ing) these
principles in ALL their affairs".
I'm really getting on a roll on this subject and I'm sorry, but I've
been very hurt by it for several months now and the only answer I've
found is withdrawal and isolation - to be safe.
I doubt that some of these people even have any idea how much they hurt
me - especially one that I thought was my friend.
Basically, I've just given up on AA and NA - with or without the SIP in
front of it.
