I've attended two OA meetings now and they've brought up a lot of emotions for me.  After my first meteing I slept amazingly well and then had a really useful therapy session the following morning.I currently feel quite vulnerable as I am starting to see where some of my problem lie but as yet don't have the means to work with them.  I have ordered my 12 step and 12 traditions book and am hoping to find a sponsor in the next few weeks.  Above all right now I am trying...

I have trouble getting gifts for my wife. I have a lot of fear surround the appropriateness of the gift.  I don’t want to be criticized for gifts that cost too much or gifts that do not have enough thought behind them.  If I perceive that the window of appropriateness is too small, I won’t bother getting anything; I mean if I am going to be criticized anyway, why bother.  Some of that is my wife’s stuff and some of that is my stuff.  For me, Valentine’...
