Interesting. When I began group last March, I had to experience having a male group leader. Made me uncomfortable at first, especially since his name is John like my father and they dressed similarly, and I DEFINITELY have daddy issues. I actually began thinking he was pretty good. I like the guy now and usually enjoy his groups. The last time I was hypo I embarrassingly divulged this stuff in group. I'm still embarrassed about it. I hope he didn't think I meant romantically I like him. I just said something along the lines of why I had first been intimidated and that he wax a pretty nice guy. And it wasn't just a statement, but I was gushing. Still kind of embarrassed about that.
