Retread, ironically I was thinking the opposite due to my relapse. But no, I love the Augustables, hence why I'd prefer to stay in this class versus join a new one.
If I come off a little strange, don't worry, that's just early sobriety talking. You know that stage when all the emotions that are generally numbed by alcohol begin surfacing, and you're unsure what to do with them? One minute you're happy, next you're sad, next you're angry, next you're excited, etc. That stage.
For example, went to the pet store earlier, and they were playing a Lifehouse song that reminded me of my past. I had to hold back tears while I was walking up to the cashier. That wouldn't happen if I was numbed out with alcohol.
Totally agreed with your first paragraph. Stick together, through the good and bad. Hope all is well with you.
