i was always an isolator.


other kid's in school had reasons to hang out.i stayed alone alot.


i read alot as a teen ager.i was sometimes popular with the girls at school,but relationships always hurt my heart.it seemed that every girl ended up going for the ritch guys(who i wasnt) and i ended up more and more heart broken and silent.


i was always just getting over some relationship.


i started gaining alot of weight,listening to alot of music,and staying high all the time.

Hey Dalin, thank you for posting all that stuff. I would also love to go thru all this awesome stuff if I can have my way... But my destiny demands of me far more than my desires right now it seems... But as Peggy said, I have copied and filed all that you posted here at the forum and at times, do study them and introspect, but just not in a position to do it on a consistent basis... Life never ceases to take me for a spin, one after another after another... a never-ending rollercoaster... LOL... I have great difficulty grounding myself in the NA program sometimes... Have to consciously do so every moment nowadays... that spontaneity of applying the program like before is hard to recapture lately... I am working on my spiritual condition to address this problem... checking out on my complacency and by recommitting myself to the basics, the meetings everyday, stepwork, service, prayer and meditation daily...
