I learned practical techniques for resisting difficult temptations--plus I learned a lot of life wisdom from people who had walked the road before me.
Many of the stories here are fascinating.
I recommend that you come on here at your most vulnerable times, both to read and to let loose with a primal scream if you are at the end of your rope.
Often just a quick five minutes here would give me just the boost I needed to get through one more night.
Hang in there!
PS--my life is much better now because through the maturity of sobriety I have learned how to love better and build better.
I have seen pictures of Uganda, and it looks beautiful.
Thanks, Gilmer.
I had gotten off SR for a bit, having succumbed to my demons (alcohol). However, I'm so glad that I'm back and committing to giving this another shot. I need my life back.
And yes, Uganda is beautiful. Of course, like any developing country it does have its issues but many people who come here just fall in love with it and stay. My husband for one, lol.
