Brian, Given your comments about feeling unwanted and excluded, your choice to to leave and periodically check back does not seemed to have served you. So I'm wondering how you might choose not to stay excluded next time. At support group when someone comes and is outside the circle, an example of how the person gets their 100% about being/feeling included is by asking "is there anyone in the circle willing to double up?". On many occassions this is a suggestion made by the person facilitating the support group as well.
I've been to discussion groups at HW and I've often seen people double up, as long as somebody asked.
I'm not trying to chastise you for your choice, just trying to give you an example of another way to have chosen, and to possibly have gotten closer to your 100%.
