You know I post on a 12step associated recovery site. I posted there since I first got sober 4yrs ago. I thought those people in 12 step recovery groups were honest brave folk. I thought I was not worthy of them. But posting here in this forum particularly and other "therapy" orientated sites I witness True self honesty and bravery. People not afraid to talk about their own "shadow" I don't see that in 12 step reocvery sites I see pepole disowning their shadow side and associating themselves with the percieved goodness of someout "outside" higher power. fI find myself being scapegoated in these other forums for wanting to talk about "real" issues. I was believing maybe there is something wrong with me? Maybe these people are "good" people and I am just plain "bad"

I;m not! I'm just at a more realistic level of self honesty!

I guess I just want to thank everyone for all the hard work and honesty I see in this forum!! ((YOU))
