<font color="#000088">I know how those recovery groups are, and it's really not you that they don't like. they have just formed friendships from being there together for a period of time. Even the new people are just shy to invite someone over to join them,becuase they just hadn't got to know you!
I'm really sorry you had to go through that abandonment type experience, and I can feel you on that, and how much that must have hurt! But I really think that you had some really good advice for yourself there in your post.
Stick to it, and just know that you're not alone, okay! </font>
