I think once an addict chooses sobriety, my hats off because I believe for me *that* was the most difficult and painful thing I had gone through ......in fighting my addiction to my DOC...
for me suffering is suffering...
Yea, everyone's pain is unique to their own. Some addicts are in enough pain to take their own lives, that's where I was, some just don't seem care.
I think what it all boils down to, we are all really in this together just in our own unique ways.
Kind of nice that we have places like SR where we can learn to how to fight the battle together.... :ghug3
I think addiction makes anyone it touches a much stronger person in the end. :ghug2
