I want to make sure I am sharing the solution as well. I have spoken to my friend. She is sooo not the same and obviously caught up in the grip of the disease. I on the other hand have become more diligent with my program. I have been making my usual regualr meetings but making a point to reach out more to other women as well as my sponosr. My home group asked me to speak for the anniversary. Totally humbling. Another friend of my friend was also devistated to hear the news. We have been talking and are becoming closer. It has only been seven days but I feel the acceptance of my 1st step working. In the end my friend is a member when she says she is and when she says she isn't. However, so am I and just for today I am clean and trying to recover. Thank you all for your support. At first I wasn't sure how to talk about this is my area as my friend is known there and her decision to use was her's to share. Being able to come here made a world of difference.
Yes, this board does not replace meetings but there are things we feel comfortable saying here that may not be appropriate for a meeting. Good use of the board. thanks, and keep coming back.
