it's hard to come back

It's hard to keep coming back here after I keep falling. I want to be successful in this. I told myself that I was just going to stay off the board until I "get it together," but I realized that we are all here to support each other and the worst thing that I can do is stay away. I have my intake today for outpatient, court ordered, but still a blessing.

You are absolutely right that we're here to support each other. Not just in good times, but when things are tough, too. That's when we need each other the most!

Good luck with your intake today. One minute at a time, ok?

I've been told many times by people here that when I'm struggling the most is when I absolutly need to be here at SR. They're right.

Bamboozle said it all. We are not here to judge each other we are here to support each other and offer an olive branch and share the pain when one of us slips.
If I slip I hope you are all here to listen and encourage me to try again. Peace.

Seeme, don't ever stop coming here for your daily dose of encouragement. I have a year today, & I never would have made it if I couldn't have come here the times I fell down. If everyone had been judgmental and lectured me, I wouldn't have returned, and would have missed all the inspiration & love that's shared here. Many times I came here and sat crying in my beer as I read other's stories and shared their misery or triumph. It all sunk in, and here I am. You will make it too.

Thanks to all for the encouragment. The intake went well. I start classes in about a week. It will be a lot of work, but this can be my shot at finally being free.
