I'm NEVER on my own any more.
And neither are you IF you get INTO recovery.
Wish that was true, being alone that means. Recovery can be a lonely journey and I believe AF knows that. Of course SR helps along with other types of support such as AA but at the end of the day, all you have for support is you. I think most peoples' struggles with addiction is a personal challenge. The real challenge is what you do when nobody is knocking on your door or calling you. That will test your metal when it comes to sobriety or anything else your dealing with. Not to minimize the supports that are out there. I don't know where I would be without them (probably dead), but at the end of the day, it's all about you and your determination to not drink. It's that simple yet very difficult. John
