I was going to say the same thing LadyinBC said - yes those posts scare me too. The reasons why it scares me are obvious - what the heck am I doing this for now, if in 5 years I'm going to drink again? I am 11 months sober...it's been 11 months of amazing growth for me. In fact, I only really just figured out a few months ago how to truly "start over"...I feel really confident and good - then I see folks with 7 years of sobriety "going back out"...WHY??? Did they figure something out???
I have been guilty of criticizing and analyzing others' motives on this forum - and I have been warned about it by the mods! And you know what? They're right. You can only support people, and hope they do well. While we're all in the same boat, we are also all on different roads. Take what you can from SR - for YOU. Someone else might be straying or taking a different path. So be it. Not your problem, right? Let's concentrate on our own problems.
Best of luck and thanks for bringing up the topic.
