2) door to door so bad it would affect my bodily functions .

3) High anxiety for fear they would find out that I did'nt belong in the org.

I feel like such a fool!

by Swan in

i feel like such a fool!.

i was spoofed this week by a 13-year-old girl.

she approached me through yahoo and led me to believe that i had finally made contact with one of my family.

I am so sorry that you were put through all this. Makes me angry. And you know what Swan I probably bought into it myself. One hopes so badly for connection with family. And to compound the pain. It's unreal.

I'm not sure I would handle it the way you did. i would probably blow the poor child out of the water. Thats if this person is a child? It was totally wrong!!

Can I make you a cup of tea and have you seat in a rocking chair. to help soothe your pain. be gentle with yourself.

Some one asked me if this drumming group is a organization. No organization. Its a group of women who have similar interests and is supportive with one and others spiritual path.

Another question what is "WFS"? "Women for Sobriety" is a program dealing with a womans's self-esteem and self-worth issues. It's congruent to AA. but is kept separated. Many women use both programs. This program has been around since 1975. Like AA both programs can be directed to those who are getting out of abusive situations. Whether its alcohol , co-dependant relationships, drugs and religious org.

"To gain that conscious contact with god. As the 11th step says. Then eventually we become the teachers and no longer the student."

I personally see this as a flaw. If we are teachers, whats their to learn? Unless you see this place as "paradise"? I see the roles reversed many, many times over throughout ones life time. Basically human nature.
