I've been sitting in the waiting room while hubby has a minor procedure, listening to the Recovery Radio Network Podcast. This is the first time I've listened to NA speakers and I am dumbfounded at how their childhood's resemble mine. What I experienced was on the extreme side for OA but seems to fit right in with NA.
I am grateful, again, that I never had the opportunity to try drugs in school. I so would have to fit in and would have continued to block the pain of living at that time.
I was on the verge of suicide twice during that time and both times G-d spoke, for real and aloud in my right ear, "it will get better." Both times I said, "It better!" With the second I added, "Because there will not be a third time."
