Hello all! Well, as you see I am the newest newbie here as of 9:52am and figured, why not start here? I am a survivor of childhood sexual, mental & physical abuse and trust me..it has taken me a long time to actually say that outloud. I am currently attending Celebrate Recovery through my church and I cannot say enough about it!!
(On a side note: I believe everyone here is going through something or another and could use the support and love from this program. So if you're sick & tired of being sick & tired-please-google it and find a location near you and GO!! I promise, it may seem weird @ first, but it is SO worth it!!)
Ok, so back to my mission: I am in the infamous (and scary!) 'Step 4' of the program, and one of the reasons CR (and other 12-step programs) work so well is because they require you to not go at it alone. Well, as a person that has many friends, I still feel like I am going at it alone-I have no accountability partner, nor do I feel like I am ready to have one inside my little 'circle.' I think it has more to do with shame than anything-oh-and trust.
So, here I am...looking for one (female please) that can hold me accountable and just be there. And did I forget to mention? You'd get something out of it too! You'd get an online friend to chat with whenever you need a sounding board. Word of warning: I can usually be truthful. So if you want someone to hand it to you with a side of sugar, I'm not the one for ya. I am not rude in the least sense, or judgemental, or rash or in-your-face, but I am honest and will tell you the truth, whatever that may be.
Hope you're out there!!!!!
