Late, and writing anyway.

Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does.

Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point.

The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour.

Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land.

Small step. Next.

Not a number and not a competition, and still: well done. Quietly.

My pharmacist caught something similar for me. They are the most underused people in the whole system.

The bit about the two hours before is exactly it. I have never seen anyone put it that way.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.
