Any reason why RJY9? Throwing out the lifejacket when the ship is sinking ain't exactly the best idea. Don't worry about what happened in the past, we are here to help you get better.

Unfortunately there are only two paths. We can get better or we can get worse. I will say a prayer for you and hope you choose the path of sobriety. There is a wonderful life out there but you have to be ready to reach out and grab it.

1 word of warning. Leaving sober recovery is exactly what alcohol wants you to do. I would ask myself, who is driving, you or alcohol?

Support is not always wrapped like a Christmas present. We're talking about a deadly condition here; not about making a few poor decisions in life. No one likes to hear that they need to do something different in order to achieve sobriety. Or peace of mind. Or to stop killing ourselves.

We convince ourselves that "my way" is the best way, and that we've nothing to learn from anyone else. After all, we apply a death grip to the sometimes harmful and delusional conclusions that come with demanding that "everyone is different," and that therefore no one can truly know what might be helpful for me.

I have chest pains, I see a doctor. My car craps out, I see a mechanic. But sobriety? Who knows better than an alcoholic mind, my alcoholic mind, what's good for me?

If my way worked, I wouldn't be here.

I left SR for a few weeks, I upset a couple of people unintentionally and reacted badly. I don't know what your reasons are, but I decided to swallow my pride and accept these people are my friends.

....the "miracle" is in your hands. Entirely.

I wish you nothing but the best in your journey.

One thing I will say is that I have I turned my back on a lot of people who wanted to be there for me. I was scared of going back to them years later, but they were still there for me. Don't be scared to come back.
