Sorry. Didnt take that one too well. Its almost been a year since Trish died and I still have a hard time with that one too. I dont take it too well when we lose a member at one of my meetings either. I didnt even know her. Just saw her around here at SR and read a few of her posts. It caught me off guard and I was in shock. I thought I read it wrong. I will continue to spread the message of recovery here at SoberRecovery, as I do in the rooms of NA. For years I suffered in my addiction. For years I was convinced I was one who could not do this. For years I felt hopeless. I was wrong. Recovery and freedom from active addiction is possible for anyone. I was the hopeless addict. Or so I thought. In and out of AA/NA for years. Then I finally surrendered. I am coming up on two years. I have sponsies who look up to me. I live a blessed life and I am very happy. I have even been asked to be a speaker at a meeting with close to 75 addicts. For me, that is huge! I never imagined that happening. Knowing what I know today, and having what I have, its very difficult and painful to see others still suffer. Even worse to see them die. This did not have to happen. My prayers and condolances to her family.
