Love this! I really needed that laught today :D

Hi & Welcome Emandm :)

Overwhelmed by the welcome. With utmost sincerity I ask this...

Why do you care about someone who is, in actuality, a stranger?

We have been where you are, Emandm, and understand where you want to be.

We care and want to help you find sobriety.

Welcome Emandm.

Such a cute intro post!
Welcome! Xo

Because we've all been where you are and know how low that feels. There is no greater love or more pure a love than the love one drunk feels for another. We share in a common peril and we find recovery together. Like shipmates after a horrific shipwreck...we find ourselves all desperately clinging to the life rafts together.

Yes exactly! Well said!

Yep. That.

And, on a selfish note, helping others also reinforces my own sobriety. If I'm having a tough day, dwelling on it, or trying to exert my own will on things that are beyond my control is invariably a lot less effective than focussing on helping someone else.

It's wonderful to have you with us, Emandm. Most of us are all too familiar with the train to nowhere. :) You'll fit in just fine - welcome.

Welcome to SR! Joining the currently monthly class is a great way to get a jump start on sobriety.
