the thing about all the courageous deep down honest reporting and sharing and exposing of abyss and tumbling over the edge making others feel less alone/letting others know they are not alone...well, that's so.
and that is hugely valuable.
but what it doesn't do is to point in a direction of solution.
it took me years to see that, that support about identifying and understanding the depth of the "problem" isn't in and of itself always or even often helpful in pointing to a way out.
it can too easily turn into an unending cycle of "ja-but...".
took a long time for me to see that i was, after quite a bit of sober time, stuck in a place of no solution.
just an observation.
