I am here...

...because I found SR on the first day I quit 21st May 2005 and have been here on an almost daily basis. People here have been supportive, tolerant and accepting of me since that day and continue to be and I hope I am as well.

I am not perfect and will make mistakes, fly off the handle .... and SR as well as NA gives me a safe place to do that in prepartion for the 'normal' world where I have to live life on lifes terms and accept it as it comes.

So if you happen to be in the midst of a resentment or two and have pointed it at SR, thats ok, but don't let it stew, let it go and let god and lets get on with recovery.

Love Kevin

Thanks for the post, Kevin. I went to my meeting tonight in a bit of a tizzy. The meeting helped, and your post helped too.

As usual, I've no clue what you're talking about ... LOL

Something to be said for being so very blonde, I suppose

So many apologies... I haven't a clue what most of them are about. Onward with the recovery is the most important thing though. Thanks for posting Kevin
