I did not learn to drive until I was 33, that didn't stop me, I took buses. I didn't find the need to rely on a higher power at all. There is a lot of support, information, success stories, empathy and the folks are mostly non-judgmental. I was not hassled at all about God or anything. It wasn't perfect, but what is?

It kept me going for a couple years, I made some friends, I had someone to confide in when I was desperate for it, and I knew I wasn't the only one with a life story like mine, not the only one who was like me.

Well, as far as what scares you, the question is... what's more scary... your current feelings or the fear of trying something new...

you can leave home and call an 800 crisis number for free, your folks don't need to know. There are options.
