I will deal accordingly. I did sign up with them maybe two days before finding this site. I was not finding what I was looking for there and have not been back since. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I had forgotten about them! MY BAD!

Ahhh, good to know you got it sorted out. Meantime, I should probably deal with this in this moment...

THANKS FOR THE RESCUE!

I hope you won't be offended whispers, if I note that I'm not capable of rescuing other people. It's true, that I do share information that has been helpful to me with the hopes it will be helpful to others. Some people quickly identify that information as something that is personally beneficial for them; other people reject it entirely. As a result, any "rescuing" that is going on is self-initiated -- I can't rescue someone else and this is both for my benefit (I can't carry others for any sustained length of time) and theirs (we are not helping anyone if we render them dependant upon us).

That said, I have found it necessary to lean from time to time on other people and I've occasionally had other people lean on me. That too, is part of the recovery process. I do understand that you appreciate the information I've been able to pass to you. I've had many moments of appreciation myself over the past several years.

To emphasize my point, I'll close with another of my favorite links. It's from a completely different field but if you give it a read through, I'm certain you'll be able to see how the concepts that are presented are transferable to an individual's recovery journey -- it can be remarkably easy to give our personal power to others, whether they be a guru, a psychiatrist/psychologist, or maybe, someone who's just a few steps ahead of us: The Guru's Trap.

Continued best wishes in your recovery.
