Robin Williams
People that would make me feel all alone
were the very ones right there in my
immediate family. It was the lack of
understanding and communication.
Once I got into recovery and was
taught and learned about my addiction
I immediately became knowledgeable
about it. That knowledge left the rest
of my family in question.
I always say that it takes an addict
or alcoholic to know one and in my
situation, I was the only one with an
addiction to alcohol in my little family
so they truly didn't know me or understand
my illness or my recovery.
Anyway, that is why I felt all alone in
my family because of that lack of under-
standing and communication. So, I retreated
to many many AA meetings to surround
myself with others just like me who have
been there or done the same similar things
in life I have.
And..... WE in recovery have a solution to
incorporate in our everyday life in learning
to live a sober, clean, healthy, happy, honest,
way of life for many yrs to come.
Im no longer ALL ALONE like I use to
be yrs ago. Today I BELONG.

I have a picture of Robin with that quote on my work desk. May his soul rest in peace. I too used to be around people who made me feel all alone. It's a constant struggle to get out of that mindset. Robin was doing great for a long time, then it got him again and sucked him back in. I've been there many times myself. I only hope that the publicity of Robin's death will show people that they don't have to die alone. There is hope. We are all here together in this.
