oops, forgot to answer your ?   people are people and will hurt you, let you down, disappoint, etc. i did have someone who did not choose to be around me unless we were working on the steps (AA) said that if i choose not to do AA meetings, what is the point of the friendship.

i was very hurt and i don't go there unless i REALLY hurt.  then i asked if we could still be friends. she told me she did not consider what we have is a friendship ..... that's for those she has known for years who live the way she does.  another stomach punch. the answer to the question is i will still love her and pray for her after i recover a bit in a couple of days from feeling so REJECTED.

i don't drive and i love this site, help others, work on other recovery issues. i consider that a daily effort. anyway, in closing i said that it saddened me that she did not consider me a friend. my response to her from now on is treat her the same as i did. she really is a wonderful, gifted, sharing person and i've had days like that (if i have unfinished business...i don't call it closure just because)  she did have a hard day.....so no judgment here <3
