Hi Darkpen - great to meet you! SR got this longterm alcoholic turned around. It was the not feeling alone anymore part that made all the difference. No matter what you're thinking or feeling, one of us has been there before. I had no support or understanding from anyone else in my life the way I did here.
We're so glad you found us, and that you've seen what needs to be done. I wish I had seen the light in my 30's - so much destruction and misery that never needed to happen. This won't be you, though - you can do this!
