Post Never Alone

I have just been reading some post and was promted to write this.

Plainly and simply SoberRecovery was the starting point of my Recovery in 2005 and the members here where instrumental in saving my life.

Since then I have come here almost every day. It has taken a long time to deal with many things I brought into recovery Anger and blame where two of them. I am not proud to say that I displayed my old behavior here at SR, but am grateful that I was held here and accepted.

Today, I think before I act and rarely have need to blame anyone including me. I practice a simply daily spiritual program and try to be of Service.

If you’re new here or struggling there lots of support here just ask.

Your Grateful SoberRecovery Member. Kevin

I feel the same way Kev. This was my starting point too. I just wrote a thing in where were you last night when I couldnt sleep.
I too have done some of those things. But I have learned alot in my time here. And made some amazing friendships.
Even in my worst I was still shown support, forgiveness and understanding. It was just those few that made the difference.
And I am so glad they held on when I was ready to let it all go.
I am still working on the thinking before I act or rather react thing.
I take more time than most to work it out in my mind.
But I am trying and getting a little better.
Thx for this post Kev.
And there is always at least one other person who is willing to go the distance with you no matter what. And sometimes thats all it takes is ..One person.

I agree, Kevin. SR has most definitely been a huge part of my sobriety. This sobriety thing CAN be done....it just takes a little work!

Old behaviors can be a real nightmare. We've had our differences, but I still love you, Kevin.
