I'm sorry you feel that noone cares IndGerSweIrl - I'm not sure it's that they don't care...it's that often not drinking is no big deal to those who've never had this problem, cos they just don't drink for days weeks months or even years.
I'd also made a
lot of promises that I didn't keep about not drinking...so another declaration of being sober for good wasn't really taken seriously until I walked the walk as well as I talked the talk.
Back then someone said to me 'so you want a medal for something you should have been doing all along?'
It stung, yes - but with every sober year that passes I see more and more that my friend had a point and I'm grateful he made it....now
It's not to say that we don't deserve support.
There are people who know what you've been through and that's why places like SR are important
