thanks very much, worst parts over. yeah but it's run by patients, staff don't get involved. im learning the preamble and thinking of hosting but I feel resentment towards steve which is a huge part of AA so im going to forgive him after he apologizes to everyone but theres going to need to be some changes. recovery is basically fucking difficult and im a firm believer in letting people share what they want cause recovery takes all shapes and sizes. fuck the pen, share about your day mood loved ones whatever, its just good to get stuff off your chest. there was a serious power imbalance, he was thinking of himself as the boss when he's supposed to be a humble servant of the people and there's going to be some changes.
courage to change the things I can.
cheers I really look forward to meetings but none til friday.
Are you allowed to hang out and commiserate with the same people during the week? Is there not group therapy at rehab?
oh of course yeah there's all kinds of classes about like emotion regulation, sleep hygiene, distress tolerance all that good shit
