Isnt it comforting to know that you are
not alone here in SR? I recognize your
name and believe you have been here
in SR for some time now.
I may not write to each and every person
that comes here to SR, but I try to focus on
their names to recognize them each time
I sign in for the day.
It's just like going to my face to face meetings
in early recovery and yrs afterwards, I would
show up regularly to be seen so that folks
would know I was sober and putting one foot
in front of the other doing what I needed
and eventually wanted to do in recovery.
Dee said some good stuff up top and I
too echo what was shared.
Coming here to share with us what is
going on with you and in your life is very
helpful, because, keeping all this to only
yourself, can be a heavy cross to carry
each day. By sharing lightens that burden
and lifts that weight off you and doesn't
that feel freeing?
In recovery, learning to live life without
alcohol, that addiction, first and foremost
is important. That in itself is a tall order
to fill and accomplish.
In a selfish kind of way, we have to learn
how to stay sober for ourselves first are
we cant be helpful to anyone else.
It will take some pushing away things,
people in ur life at this time to concentrate
on you in order to become healthy.
Many of us have reached that last piece
of string holding on for dear life needing
and wanting help to live and survive. Once
we let go, placing ourselves into their hands
to take care of us for awhile, helping us get
better, healthier, teach us what is necessary
to live life without dependency and addiction
to a toxic substance is what is important right
now at this time in your life.
As you continue to share here in SR, their
will be many folks sharing their own ESH,
experiences, strengths and hopes of what
their own lives were and are like before,
during and after addiction paving the way
for you to follow and offering helpful suggestions
to guide you into make some important
decisions in reaching for that help you
need to reach many wonderful gifts in
your life just waiting for you to enjoy.
Health....Happiness....Freedom from addiction
and all that come with it.
We are here for you with loving, caring,
understanding support.
