If they can't write about their troubles staying sober.and ask for advice.what are they supposed to write about then? How much better sober people are then addicts? I don't really follow. I see SR for everybody even people who haven't tried to get sober yet.
I don't really follow this. I didn't read the OP as saying people struggling shouldn't post, or that people who have quit are better than those who haven't. Maybe I misunderstood, but I took the OP as a member posting about their feelings of frustration over wishing they could help others see what they have come to see. I certainly relate to that feeling. I have teenage boys. So often I wish I could literally open their heads and put in the lessons I've had to learn the hard way...to spare them the pain...but that's not how it works. Still we can make a difference by continuing to respond with good intentions, no matter how it is received in the moment.
