acoa sanctuary Community Group
The softer side of growing up in a dysfunctional home... a sanctuary to feel home with friends and never alone.
For giving me a second chance. This weekend I celebrate 19 years of sobriety...
I still struggle with how to live life in a world where I'm not the only being in the universe, while I struggle with everyday relationships I am still very thankful for the gifts I have received due to sobriety.

Thank you, HP, indeed.
Am interested to know in what kind of ways you struggle with everyday relationships?
I still do not let people close....as in totally close. I always keep that 1% for myself! That 1% that nobody can touch or even see! . (It may be even more than that but I feel happy with 1 %) *smiling*
Hug for u & A1 !
I struggle with knowing what is right in a relationship. I do things that may be very comfortable and "normal" for me, yet it makes others feel uncomfortable...
In many ways I'm still a child in how to act (and react) in adult situations
I like to consider myself a child of God - I have my childish flaws but he loves me anyway! I have a heart of gold and hopefully that will carry me through!
It gets SO tiring always feeling pressured into being 'mature' I feel.
That said , I am one of the worst offenders in expecting both myself and others to 'be mature'. !!!! LOL !!!
(((BIG HUG for you)))
