I also want to add that when I first came to SR, I learned to laugh again, something I had not done in a very long time. I learned to laugh at myself and my circumstances, and yes to laugh at my son sometimes too.
That's the nice thing about this forum and my meetings...they are about ME and how I cope and I can tell you that I would never have made it without a sense of humour.
It may pain an addict to read what is written here, but it is not personal, it is not written for them, it is written as part of our healing and the ability to laugh at our circumstances.
I don't read the substance forums much, mainly because they are not about me or my issues. I may go there and ask a question or wish someone well who is celebrating, but I respect that we each have our sensitive issues and that our own forums are the place to share those.
Don't get me wrong, you are welcome to share here, just don't expect our answers to always be what you are looking for.
Hugs
