I've been sober for 12 years and have been trying to get help with life long depression. I have sought professional help for many years and the doctors just prescribe another medication. One might work for a while, but the uptight feeling in my gut does not go away. This program is different than anything I am aware of in that it gives us a process to deal with our dis-ease (not to be confused with disease). I have been in the program for about three weeks and already feel "safer" in my own skin. I know I have a long way to go but, like you, I HAVE STARTED!! All we need to do is trust the process and be honest with ourselves and each other. When I first got sober my recovery family told me to keep coming back. They also suggested I take the cotton out of my ears and put it in my mouth. I was also told, "Don't believe everything you think". I think I'll keep coming back. Thanks for being here for me.
