• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I am finishing up a Fourth Step, and am getting ready to give it away in my Fifth Step. Problem is, I am not sure who I should give it to. I am not comfortable giving it to my sponsor for a variety of reasons. It has nothing to do with her, it is all about me. I would have liked to give it to Keith, my old treatment counselor, but I can't see him anymore because my insurance does not cover treatment at his agency anymore. I don't know my new counselors well enough to be comfortable sharing it with them, though that might not be a bad idea. I could probably share it with my primary therapist, but don't want to spend a session of my therapy on my Fifth Step. I have a friend from rehab that lives near me that I could share it with, but he is not at his fourth step yet.

I was wondering who you did Step Five with. Would you all mind sharing your Step Five experiences with me. I am not afraid to do it. I am just not sure who the right person would be.

I once heard of someone telling to a stranger on a bus going far out of town. The stranger wouldn't know his name and be living in another town. True story. I hope this will work out for you just fine. God bless you.
