Today was my first face to face meeting in over six months and wow did it feel good to be back. I rely heavily on online meetings as where I live in Asia doesn't have any face to face meetings.
I have to say that I am so grateful for my program, for the chance to connect to other human beings who have felt my pain and who are examples of great recovery. For the chance to hear just one share that can change everything. I realized today after hearing a share that I "disown" my inner child every time she feels something. This happened to me as a child a lot. I felt something and was shouted down, ignored, punished, laughed at or abused. It is sad to see that I now do this with my inner child. I am the only adult she has now and todays meeting and talking with a very special alanon friend across the seas has made me realize that its time to start working on my inner child issues. I am asking my HP for help with this.
Love
