I got pretty pissed off at people here at first, but I listened to them and did what they said.
It is all up to you.
I also found some comments hard to swallow when I first joined, I thought people were being a bit too tough. But now realise its just because they cared enough to even comment, and they know what exactly what they are talking about. We don't like to be accountable for our actions, we want them to be someone elses fault and take the blame away. But we cant and I can assure you everyone here wants to help and support you if you can be available here to let us. Seriously, there is some great advice here and I wouldn't be over a month sober without the people who jolted me into reality right here. I hope you come back and let us know how you re doing today.
