Maybe I'm helping someone, somewhere...
My big hope is that I can reach at least one person with my fight to overcome the obstacles within this addiction. I want to help people. I want everyone to know that no matter what else happens, we do not have to use.
I want you to know that you can do this. We can do this. *Just for today.*

Only one person said hi to me since I've been on here today.
I don't fit in here at SR so I'm going to leave. :tissue
I'm still going to work on staying sober and getting my life back together.
I wish you all the best and the best life you could have ever dreamed of. Remember that you can do it.
I have enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you and it has been a blessing that I landed onto this site for a while. Thank you for helping people.
Prayers going up for everyone here...take care.

You FIT just fine in here kiddo....people are just busy other places is all, or maybe a bit down today and don't feel like replying, don't ever take it to heart.

cheryl, I have the same feelings about this place sometimes. Yesterday I was going to make the same post, that I was leaving SR. Today I feel different. I have had almost nobody reply to some of my posts. Try not to take it personal. It's hard in recovery not to take things to heart. The emotions are like a roller coaster. Just keep coming back!! We need you here, we are all part of each other's recovery and I hope to see you back RIGHT NOW!!

Well I heard a message I needed to today Angel. You got what you asked for if only one person.... I heard it and it helped. Right now I will take it. Hope to see you around. People are here and there and not all posts are responded to for various reasons, but mostly just timing I think. Don't be too put off please. Thanks for your inspiration today.
Hi Angelhugs,
I've been here at SR for a few months and started only two threads, and youu know what ? each of them never got more than 7 or 8 replies. At first I was disapointed and felt I didn't belong here, but then I realized that the answers I received were heartfelt and meant to help me. My replies to other threads may have been of some help to other people.
What I'm getting to is that not getting the response one might have looked for when starting a thread doesn't mean people don't read them or don't care, as said before, we all have many things to do and are not always available to give a prompt answer. In my particular case I would have given up a long time ago.
I never did because I've realized that few answers or late answers are not a sign of lack of interest. It's just lack of time. Everyone here is needed, everyone's view and comments are equally appreciated and taken into consideration as part of a global experience of all of us leading to a better understanding of our disease and of ourselves.
Don't go away. You are needed here and more than welcome here. Remember we're all equals in here and the number of replies to a thread is not an evaluation of our usefullness in SR. One thread or one reply is as equally important as 1000 threads or a 1000 replies.
Please reconsider. Hugs - Pedro

Thanks everyone for dragging my butt back here...I get on some weird kind of emotional rollercoaster and I don't even know how I get there sometimes.
I don't ever remember taking the first step on, but I sure do know the loops and quick turns very well.
Sometimes I just need a fast slap back into reality.
I'm not going anywhere...not after I met the best kind of friends anyone could ever ask for...
Love you all and wishing you a wonderful, happy, sober 24!!

heh angelhugs..
I know how you feel...
I find it hard to admit that I am hyper-sensitive, when i have spent over half my life giving out an 'I don't give a **** attitude'. Finding that I really am a sensitive soul is a bit of revelation.
You seem to be a kind, caring, open & honest person, I have enjoyed reading your posts today.
