I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

You seem to be making good progress @Former-Member. I am glad to hear you were able to work through your negative feelings by yourself. Hopefully over time you will able to reduce your shame. I am thinking it is probably better to leave until tomorrow too.
