Maybe if you know there is someone here who is right next to you in our days sober - going through the same stuff and staying strong with you, it can give you some support, at least. We can do this! I've been keeping myself so busy to distract myself from a breakdown but i'm sure one is around the corner. Hang in there! And thanks for all of your posts. You helped me come out of my shell today and join!
