Seeing opposition, sigh, but that is ok, better to not keep things bottled up and I am strong enough and understanding, empathic for that kind of reaction.
Number one goal, all of us, sustained long term happiness and sobriety right? We at least agree upon the former, latter being a result?
Yes, yes and I mean yes, underlying past issues are going to cause sobriety issues, people drink or use to cope instead of address them. I have had so many talented, amazing, good, just awesome people I have encountered in my life, haunted by troubled pasts, pasts that can be changed by people like us for the good.
I get down with my own, face hard times, need people to lean upon, but will not lean upon people that tell me I am less of a person because I only have this shop, house or overhead, or this understanding, or anything else.... If we are friends. We are friends no matter what.
Aa, still no friends bothered to call, text or otherwise, month three, life without aa....
