Feeling like the black sheep [I Am A Grateful Memeber Of Alanon]

I love my home group and that they're all so positive, but yet they're all so positive. I'm feeling like I can't relate at times to an almost Pollyanna atmosphere. I hope I get to where everyone else is.

sounds like pretty much all self help and hotline experience these days

But its a long lonely journey to the source of complicated personal pain... and positive psychology is often a cover for neglect of the helping mission...

There's always a reason we are in pain and covering up with habits and addictions and there's not much encouragement from many quarters to just dig down and find the truth and then try to work with it and around it to get stronger.

but we gotta do it. Positively.

I want to be part of something like that too but it has to be helpful 4 all of us. Can't imagine how to find anything though...Meeetup??
