I come to this thread and a very few others on a daily basis, so you might as well lean on me whenever you want!
I've done my share of leaning over these years.

Staying connected to this community and/or AA makes a huge difference for the long run. I usually start my morning here and it gets me off to a good start.
You are all my special friends here
All of the above .....big time.... toots' words feel like they came from my head.
Yesterday is the first day I have had a break from SR in many many months, and I still did a brief check-in.
An hour or so a day on SR is a HUGE part of my recovery plan.
And shoes love....you have my number. Please text or call anytime you want....especially if your AV is hassling you. I think one of the parts of this disease that is sneakily progressive is that feeling of "lack of conviction"....for me, it's just another way the AV has to trick us.
Love and good morning everyone.
