So I just had my first meeting with the group today, and wow. That was… a lot, in a really good way. I've been feeling pretty isolated lately, even though I know I'm not actually alone in this. But sitting there, listening to everyone, it was just a different kind of connection. It's one thing to know people get it, and another to feel it. I left feeling this sense of relief I haven't had in a while. Like, a physical weight lifted. This recovery journey is SO hard, and having a space where you can just be completely honest, without judgment, that's literally HUGE. I'm really glad I went.
