glad my comments helped. fortunately the first 11 years of sobriety was with a wonderful sponsor-she has 55 yrs.now-who had a good understanding and open mind re this. had she not been so supportive about my life stuff i dont know if i'd be sober today. i hope you find someone in AA that can provide you with the same understanding tho i understand the frustrations you've felt with AA. i sponsor ppl using how she helped me with my ppl. i wish you the very best and glad you're continuing to fight for the serenity sobriety gives us.
i can really relate to the suicidal thing too. they kept asking me in treatment intake if i ever felt that way. i'd say no. the last time in treatment i realized i was by my drinking.
please keep us posted on how u're doing.
