I realized after my last post in the thread that not long after my teacher saved me from falling off that cliff is when I started to self injure.

I've been fighting needyness as a character defect since September. You are all showing me that it is okay to need others. I was able to say "needy" this morning when my girlfriends asked how I was doing.

I had a nice lunch with my sponsor and I'll see her again tomorrow.

I don't know how he knew that i'm not in a good place; Daddy-friend's hugs were so understanding and reassuring and made me feel better. I can't thank him enough.

Unusually enough i'm having trouble finding words tonight. The best one I can come up with is:
Thanks.

	My husband is my best friend. In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
