Got sponsor in Mexican support group face to face

Last night I approached an elder of the new face to face support group I've found since retiring to Mexico.  I want to go all in on this wonderful find, so I asked him to be a sponsor.  I just retired from teaching to move here, and he's a teacher.  I'm excited that it looks like we're a good fit.

That’s great muji. I didn’t know that ptsd support groups had sponsors. Over here I think only addiction groups do. My ignorance I guess. Good idea though.

I had a sit down with my Mexican support group sponsor last night. He told me to go into more detail sharing about being tortured by Uruguayan soldiers trained by US advisers from the CIA. Down here you can tell the whole story, he said, so I'm sharing tonight. Pray for me, it's hard to talk about but I want to get it out and I never really have on DS.

Sadly, people there probably do understand (something that a lot of us here know only from your accounts and from history books).

I hope it went well.

Thanks, y'all, it sure didn't take long to find the support I needed down here in Mexico. I just found out that another member of our face to face support group is a teacher, too!

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
