Sd, glad you are here and yes you can get there.
There are different paths to recovery so just keep working on it. SR was a starting place for me and I too looked at what others had done and I chose an option that I felt would best suit me. Now i am working my recovery and have kept SR close to me as this support tool is tremendous to me. I can reach out here 24/7 and have folks who understand......I feel pretty darn lucky to have it
Keep it going and you will get there. Just gotta add to the support my friend.
