Hi Vera,
Thanks so much for posting on my thread. It’s really good to have some perspective from the “other” side(!)
I have often said, perhaps tongue in cheek, I’m not sure, that CG is my addiction. And indeed, i related my feelings in relation to being co-dependent to being part of this.
It’s interesting that you using the word “escape” makes me look at this again in a whole new light. CG is totally my escape from the “real world”. I can go to that bubble where things arent real and get the release i am looking for.
I think I’m ready to cut the strings and take back control. That’s why it is a little frustrating that my potential new job opportunity is dragging its heels. I want to have all my ducks in a row and take back control of me and my feeling and my emotions. But maybe the job is my excuse to not pushing on…?
I also find the “my journal” forum so interesting and helpful to my understanding. You are all so supportive of each other and I admire that. I feel like the last 6 months have been a HUGE learning curve for me and everyday I learn more. Including today!
So thank you for making me think in a different way…again 🙂
