Hmmm I want to make this short and sweet.I went to a ftf yesterday,and one of the members there said something to me that stuck.She said that she is glad I go to the meetings because I add a kick to them.I haven't been going too often because I was sick.Anyways this member also said that she likes when I share because I say it how it is,and I am innocent,and don't hold back.She said others in here are older than you,and terrfied to say a word about how they are truly feeling....
I thought how nice someone older than me admires me..how cool is that??? but I just wanted to say to those of us in here who are afraid to share about their true feelings...I was once afraid to share because I thought nobody would understand.In here we too have been through similar things ourselves.
We are like second families to some.I know in here I have like a ton of moms.It's kinda cool because they all care in their own way about me.

Now, about having 1 mill moms........ hmmmm..... count me out!!!!! you young enough to be my daughter, but, in alanon, we learn from each other My sponsor is 80 something, has children older than me, the best thing is, she shares her troubles, I am enriched, because, I have something to give her.
I am very fond of you, Lauren, we have spoken in the room, but, get real, it is not a one way street. when I feel down, I will look to you for help, so there!!!!! But, I am glad you feel the extended family, it is just, in alanon, we change roles! Tonight, I need a mom.
