Thank you for always being here
 

I have days when I mostly hang out here and read and don't post much.
Those are usually days when I'm struggling and don't have the energy to put words on what I'm struggling with.

Coming here sometimes feels like stepping into one of those crystal clear waterfalls that you see in photos from exotic locations. I feel like I come away from here rested and clear-minded.

Because you're my people. When nobody else "gets" it, when nobody else understands what I'm dealing with -- I come here and it never takes me long to find a post from someone who's been dealing with the same emotions or stuff.

I just wanted to thank you all. You're saving my sanity, or at least what's left of it. ;)

Thank you, too. I always read your posts and replies. I don't know what I would have done if I had not typed a question into google (which I can't remember now) and found this place.

THANK YOU!!! I feel the same way...you guys are my people! Could not have said it better myself.

((Hugs))

Lillamy, I couldn't have said it better. I feel the same way, thank you!

Blake, that's exactly what I did. Such a wonderful accident SR was for me.

Much love to all of you!

Thanks Lillamy. I find the posts a great comfort too and it makes me feel less alone, even as I grieve for the others going through similar things to me. I haven't posted that much until recently, partially because I have struggled to give advice and feel that given what a mess my life Is, I am in no position to. But then I realised that it is really about advice but listening and emphathising. Take care.

Thanks Lillamy. I feel this way also. I do have good friends that help me a lot, that I can talk to, but they never dealt with this stuff. I once asked if they thought I was making this stuff up. They told me the stuff that I say is so outrageous, that no one can make this stuff up. I come here, and what they think is "outrageous", is the daily experiences of many of the members here. So many here that can say BTDT, you aren't alone.

It saves my sanity because I don't have to minimize on here, so that people won't think I'm crazy....... I can relate actual events here, and no one questions my sanity or my truths.

Thank you SR

lillamy -- You are clearly confused.

You are here For Me.

Getting Well is All About Me.

Carry on.

my peeps...that's for sure. When Im feeling really alone I can post here and always get an "atta girl" or "you can do it"...no one else gets the life we have lived or are living. They are not members of this awesome club...that I never wanted to be in. But love all the same!

Darnit, Mike, I forgot -- hey, maybe I'm not doing so bad at this recovery thing after all, huh? :D

HAMMER. Not Mike.
I may be in recovery but my brain still isn't functioning. :lmao

I feel the same way. The google search that brought me here was how do you know when its time to leave an alcoholic spouse. That old stay or go debate.

Actually, Hammer just beat me to it. I want to say thank you to you for being here for me. We go back awhile here on SR and you have never steered me wrong.

Also thanks to everyone here. This is my sanctuary, I may get tough love answers but I have never been on the the receiving end of anything mean or nasty. This site has been a huge part of my recovery.

Your friend,

coming on here keeps me on the straight and narrow!

Lillamy, I always look forward to your posts.

I stumbled on this place about 18 months ago and I will always wonder what would have happened if I had found it years earlier.

But I guess I found you all when I did because I was ready.

Boy, was I ready!

Thank you, SR, for helping me win my life back!

Lillamy- you are one of those posters here whose story resonates a lot with me and I always get so much out of your posts and you have personally reached out to me and helped me directly so much so thank you for all you do here and how much you've helped me personally :)

This site is a godsend and even when I leave it feeling upset or unsettled it's bc there's necessary growth happening or bc I have been given truth I needed to hear.
