thank you for yet again the important reminder.
I personally feel very passionate about nurturing our newcomers and I know many others do too. Of course with sobriety the memories fade of how broken and vulnerable we were but I don't think I'll ever forget the morning SR came up on a Google search and I logged in for the first time. I was utterly broken and felt like I had nowhere else left to turn. Even then I still went back out there several times and managed to come back. That was my journey.
I still class myself as a newcomer (11 months sober) and take very seriously my responsibility to others who may read my posts. What has worked for me may not work for others and I can only support, care and advise from my own experience.
