I don't care...
by lostinthought infirst of all, i haven't been to a meeting since this summer.
i actually had a better plan for fading but of number of things happened where i decided it was best to go "cold turkey" (one of the biggest things that caused my exit was that an elder at my last shepparding call who said he thought i was suicidal when i really have no attention of killing myself).
so when the phone calls, emails and texts started coming, ive been ignoring them all, except those from my family.
