I came here because I was looking for community and support amongst others trying to deal with addiction. Why did you come here?

Joe Nerv

By what you've posted I have a sneaky suspicion that this is precicely where you belong. If not, I hope you find out where you do.

Hey lsb - what's wrong? I noticed your post and by the time I poured water into the coffee cup, it's had changed.

Talk to us - we're all here for you Xx

Hi lsb,

I don't often post in this part of SR because I'm from the 'Friends and Family' part of this forum, but I wanted to say "hello".

It breaks my heart to hear anyone think of themselves as a loser and a loner. I think we have all felt that way at some point or other in our lives...I know I have, and that's OK. Feelings really aren't facts.

Look at all the people here on SR who care about you, want to know if they can help, want to know if you would like to talk. It's OK if you don't, but when you are ready, there will be many people here for you to talk to.

You are not a loser. You are worthy of love and friendship and a peaceful and joy-filled life. (I know there is probably a voice in your head right now saying--"She doesn't know me. If she did, she wouldn't say those things.") I'm here to tell you, and that voice in your head, that yes---I would still say those things.

Please keep coming back! Post when you are comfortable. Know that there are many people who care.

Nothing will get better until you ask for help. Deleting your posts and tying periods won't really help that cause either. I know I was pretty ashamed myself when I first came here, but it quickly subsided when I realized everyone else was here for the same reason as me.

LSB-

Please tell us how you are doing. I guarantee you a lot of us here have been in the same situation.

I second what Seren said and from reading your posts, it seems that you do belong both here and on the Friends and Family side too. I understand you are probably distraught for some reason and alcohol probably has a big part in it. The holiday season can be very hard and if you are alone or around dysfunctional people and drinking you probably think right now you do not have much to be thankful for. It's ok.
Please just stay here and keep reading if you cannot talk yet.
I would also like to invite you to join us at the 24 hours club where we commit not to drug or drink for the next 24 hours. You do not have to say anything there aside from posting your time and that you are in for the next 24 hours. That could be a new beginning for you and before you know it, those days do pile up.
Just know that you are not alone and that we might be strangers but in more ways than one, we are also very close http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...ml#post4316811
Keep coming back, it works
