Hypocrite
Hypocrite
I feel very compelled to answer to these issues I'm disgustingly too familiar with, but having only recently joined this forum and still very much needing my own recovery, I feel very hypocritical responding. Am I out of line?
Realizing that people are at a different stage of recovery from one another and replying with compasion from your ES&H (Experiences, Strengths, and Hopes) is never out of line. A new person can share and be right just as much as someone with years behind them. The newer person may also be bringing a fresh thought that has been forgotten by a long timer.

But, it is true that, the questions posed by the newcomers tend to refresh my memory and bring to mind so many "answers" that I may not have forgotten; but, just haven't had a reason (until now) to dredge them up. It's as helpful to me as it is to whomever has prompted me to "pass it on".
So, I say, "Thank You, Dear Newcomer!" for jogging the old brain cells into action.
I have frequent headaches, probably not as bad, but still very uncomfortable. I feel like they're brought on by the racing thoughts and feelings that swarm my brain the longer I stay sober. I joined this forum yesterday and have been welcomed warmly. The game forums are fun and really take my mind off using. Welcome
