Worried about responses
If I come back to SR even though I never left the lurking side....probably at least 50 times a day, I check in.
Every day. I read and read and respect every post good, bad, happy or sad.
I dont think I could go a day without SR even though I am too scared to participate again.
You guys keep me sane and keep me aware of my addiction. Thankyou.
My inability to follow your examples astounds me on an hourly basis.
Sorry for being so totally apathetic....

Welcome Cuckoo. I did the same for a bit, but once I started posting and interacting with others it really helped me to stay sober. Why don't you join the October thread once Dee gets it going, you'll have lots of support from others in the same spot as you.
Don't worry. You need to speak to where you are at too. I know, I was and am there. You still get a voice.
I know that feeling. Astounding, confounding absolute insanity and why is it so damn hard?
You have to start somewhere. We have to start somewhere. So don't be afraid. We've most of us been there.

I think as long as we post with kindness, respect for others, a desire not to use and no medical advice you can't really go wrong here.
SR is my family who relate to and understand the most important part of my life.
We all gain wisdom by participating and giving getting feedback from each other.
I say post away.

We’re all in this thing until we die. The ones still drinking are trying to stop and the sober ones are only one bad decision away from starting all over again. Everyone is just trying to do the best they can and trying to help each other along the way.
So please, come on back. We’re all the same.

Thank you everyone for welcoming me back to the family.
I have been out all day today visiting my daughter so have been busy and occupied.
My problem is that I dont know how to push through the barrier. Most times I dont even have a physical crave, its a mental, habitual wanting to drink thing I think.
I am also an opportunistic drinker which is a difficulty. I grab those precious "alone times" and go crazy, loopy and drink. I plan those alone times and relish them. Thats just not normal.
Anyhow, I will most certainly be posting regularly now....

Thats been me for years. Lurking all the time. But when I was drinking I never wanted to log in and get real about my situation. So think I understand how you feel.
I definitely have a track record of doing much better when I post though, even if its just a few posts a week.

In my case, it has been extremely helpful for me to check into this forum regularly even when I am relapsing. I have attained a new level of self awareness about my drinking since I started visiting this forum regularly earlier this year. It sounds like you are receiving similar benefits and posting can only help your process along.
Good luck!!
Good luck!!
Hi Cuckoo. Welcome back! SR has been a vital part of my getting and staying sober. I was a long-time lurker but I've found I get more out of active participation and hope my experiences might be of help to others who are struggling. We are family united in our desire for sobriety and I am honored to have such good companions on this journey. Best wishes!
