those of us who developed some awareness in recovery can sure relate to your comment. at least i can. i used the 12 steps of recovery/AA and therapy to develop coping skills, etc that i never had before...ever. i used to say "i don't do life well." that was how i felt at the beginning. matter of fact my whole life. i had no clue!
so since you know you lack some skills may be a good thing. it can motivate you to learn.
