All to save one person...incredible!
It's hard to type with tears in your eyes, the screen keeps getting blurry, lol.
When I really think about it, this group is just a blessing to this old drunk and makes me wonder who am I.
Do I deserve any of the the support, guidance and friendship that I've found here, probably not, but it's that very support that makes me feel that I may be worth saving after all. Why do you care so much? It just boggles my mind.
Thank you!
(Thank God for spell checker, lol.)

FS, this place is like a lifeline to so many of us. I really feel like everyone has everyone's back here. WE get it and what you are going through. I have supportive family and friends but they just can't understand how it really feels to be an alcoholic and how it is such a daily struggle sometimes. The people on here do understand. We may all have different opinions and approaches but we have that common link. Addiction.
Hope you start to feel better as you withdraw. It sucks, no two ways about it. Take care.

When I attended AA a couple of years ago, one guy said he was whistling on his way to the meeting, because us drunks were such a great bunch of people. I didn't get it then, but I do now. Almost two month ago I needed help not driving to the liquor store from work and put an end to that vicious circle. I found SR and from out of nowhere these wonderful strangers were routing for me and being more supportive than the people in my life.
We are a great bunch of people, aren't we? All of us Alcoholics/Addicts, we understand each other. That's why you deserve such love. You are one of us - no matter what stage you are at - YOU are one of US. :ghug3

If it wasn't for newcomers and people who struggle, I wouldn't have anyone to share much with. And yeah, I get pretty teary-eyed at least once or twice a day. Alcoholism and addictions aren't pretty, it's not always a pink-cloud day, we share in our successes as well as our falls.

I care because each human being deserves a chance at living a full life, in my opinion. Us addicts even more so because we have a lot to offer the world. Most of us are creative, expressive, and talented individuals who happen to get mixed up in the wrong thing. Look at all the famous people who were/are addicts and/or had mental illnesses. There is a fine line between genius and insanity, and sometimes we cross that line, but we can get back over and make something of ourselves and each of us are worth it. Addicts have such a different perspective of the world. We're awesome people. We did a lot of wrong things, but we're still awesome.
Keep coming back FS. We want you to live. We'll love you until you can learn to love yourself, and then we'll still love you! :ghug3
