Hey, Kelley, hope you feel better now.

We are all here at various stages of recovery. Even those of us with a fair bit of recovery under our belt still have times where we need to work through what is happening in our life and to process our thoughts.

How one person posts on a thread may be quite different to how you see things. And how you post may connect with some and not fit with others. Some threads trigger some of us, and something quite different will trigger others.

It is often said here "take what you want and leave the rest". That's not a flippant message, it means to participate in threads that help you or where you feel you can help and skip the ones that trigger or that upset you for any reason.

We are over 90,000 members here and cannot possibly be all things to all people at all times. So it's up to you to be selective.

And it's up to me to send big hugs because I've been where you are and know the despair of watching an overdose, I know the pain of losing a loved one to addiction, and even after all these years I still have days where I am triggered something terrible.

So Hugs and Hugs because you sound like you could use them .
