How is everyone today?
My favorite quote about SR is "we don't shoot our wounded." It was said to me many times over many years posting here, and it kept me connected and coming back...
^^^^^^^^^ this!!!!!!!
I can't speak for everyone here but I would like to reassure anybody struggling that you must see this as a safe non-judgemental place. Nobody truly understands the depths that this thing takes you too like a fellow alcoholic. Shame, guilt, fear & isolation are food and drink to that ba$tard inside us. Please don't think you ever have to be anything other than honest here.
I never want to wipe away the memories of that fight. Whilst I remain committed to growth I still maintain a healthy respect of the power of an addiction that lurks inside me. One "eff it" moment away from the pit. Sobriety front and centre every day.
Take care everyone. I hope to see you all pop in soon xxx
