(249,000 posts)This past year has been tough since so many groups have shut down for the duration. I worry about people. My "home group," the one I advocate for at the district level, had its last meeting on March 16, 2020 - and we figured it would be weeks - which turned into months - and now it's been over a year. So I totally missed year #11. And we met at a residential treatment center, so I'm not sure if we have a future at that convenient location.
And it wasn't at all easy for me in the beginning, but I found a wonderful mentor who showed me what to do. But she wasn't well and has been gone for over 2 years now. But I don't dare slip up since that would be letting her down, so I just try to pay it forward. Met a new girl tonight who's struggling, just got out of detox, so I reached out to her, it's all about carrying the message - If I can do it, she can.
