Need you guys right along now
I have been a member of this community since December, 2011. Sounds trite, but this place has truly saved me in the darkest of hours.
I have had many relapses, and committed to myself that I wouldn't post again until I had 30 sober days behind me. It just became too hard to admit to you all that I had fallen down yet again. And I also felt that I would be of better service to others if I offered words of support instead of focusing on myself.
So I had those 30 days, and came back a couple of days ago. And tomorrow I will have to begin at Day 1 again.
I don't know if I have a point to this post, except to say I continue to struggle, and felt the need to reconnect. I find comfort in seeing familiar people, who continue to offer up great support as they welcome the new folks. And I also enjoy reading posts from those new folks, who might be in pain, but are reaching out as I did.
That is all.
