As I grow older, I'm remembering all of the old adages I grew up with. Those sayings have endured time because of the basic truth behind them.
You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
You can't help a person who refuses to help themselves.
Perhaps these old sayings came about because of addiction, alcoholism and codependence. I'm willing to bet that all of the conditions existed long before the Internet.
Each of us get to our own point in recovery in our own time. I take a break from SR from time to time. I do it for me. I do it because sometimes I have nothing new or fresh to reflect on in my own recovery.
