Overweight white female seeks non-theistic sponsor, must like dogs

Sounds like a lot of challenging days are ahead of you, but it also sounds like you are ready for the challenge. I have faith in you (even if that isn't necessarily the best word to use).

I think you'll do great. You want change, and you're working at it. That's what counts.

Well, yes and no. If the result of making amends is agony or more damaging then just letting things go, then contact is not recommended. But if the agony and damage is just because you may have to hear what the other person has to say about you, then that shouldn't stop you from making amends. To make amends is to change something, and I don't believe it is meant to stir up drama or anything along those lines. It's more like a sincere apology, an opportunity for the other person or persons to tell you what they may need to say, and a moment to rectify the situation. So for example, if you stole money from a friend's bed post, you would need to tell them that you did it, apologize for it, and then pay them back. Does that make sense

There is also this great site called InTheRoom.com that is for all folks on the road to recovery. You may be able to find some extra help or even a sponsor through there!
