Coming here every day is a big part of my recovery. Especially on bad days when it's tempting to just get numb and say to hell with it. Days like that are when it helps me a lot to come here and welcome newcomers and/or just respond to a desperate post. The newcomers' posts remind me of where I came from and where I don't want to go back to. So it helps me stay sober by helping others.
I also like to remind myself of how much better my life is without drinking. No wasted money or wasted days or feeling sick and unable to function. I don't miss that at all and am glad to be done with it.
