This thread sounded really good until someone (DogMum?) said she drank. tThen it changed and drinker was bad person. I don"t get that. She came here and said she drank like she said she would if she did...I am not sure will not lapse and need support
OK....I really don't want to dwell on this? But I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea of this thread, or this place.
I've always tried to give support and encouragement to anyone who wants it.
That's what we all do and that's what we're here for.
But we're here to be sober, free of addictions.
Sometimes that means being told things we may not want to hear.
I'm not a arbiter of anything - I, like everyone else here, am merely sharing opinions borne of experience. Take or leave it.
Sometimes the line between support and being harsh is a difficult one to measure.
I don't believe I crossed it this time.
I apologise if this or any other post of mine gives an impression that might put anyone off...but getting sober is hard. It's tough.
But it's worth it
