Hey You! Check In!
The world is a weird place right now. I can't help thinking about the scores , maybe hundreds, of folks I've gotten to know here.

I have been doing really well. I still come on from time to time to read, but don't post as much as I used to.
I am naturally an introvert so the whole staying indoors doesn't bother me too much. Not being able to go to the gym has been a disappointment, but it is what it is. I know that it definitely beats the way life was when I was still using.
Earlier today I was scrolling through a FB page for our folks from NA that have passed over the past few years. They were pretty much all ODs. There were a few people I came across that I didn't realize had passed. It was strange to keep scrolling down the page and thinking "knew him, knew her, knew him, knew her, etc. etc.). Some were just faces I recognized from the rooms and others I knew well.

I'm a frequent visitor here. I thought I had lost my computer earlier today. 
It was unresponsive for almost two hours. Made me realize how much I value my connection here. We're alone, but together all the same. SR is family. I love my virtual family.

Hey Dee,
I’ve become a bit of an SR lurker these days. Once upon a time I was hooked onto this site all day and posted multiple times.
Life is really surreal right now isn’t it?
Hubby and I are still working as we are considered key workers. The school I work at caters for children classified as vulnerable so we have been directed to stay open. My job now is supporting the staff who are managing their own anxieties over their loved ones whilst still continuing to work. Hubby works in a prison which is a high risk environment as regards passing this virus, and the nature of both our jobs mean we cannot socially distance.
My son and daughter are both working from home which feels weird.
By far the hardest thing for me is not being able to see my Mum. I take her shopping round once a week and talk to her through the patio doors. Being almost 78 with underlying health conditions she is deemed high risk, and we are shielding her as best we can by not being in contact with her.
Yesterday almost 1000 people died in the UK.
This is scary stuff isn’t it.
Sending love to all my SR family xxx

Hello all. I don’t post much but visit daily to read the daily readings under the 12 step forum. I was expressing my gratitude about all the online resources there are for us recovering from our addictions in my zoom A.A. meeting last night. Thank you to all of you.

Hey Dee - I'm still around and all is well. Just celebrated 7 years a couple of weeks ago.
Basically 100% of my time is taken up with work (I work in consulting so business has actually doubled because of COVID-19) and trying to wrangle a 13 month old toddler because daycare is closed.

Hi all.
Enjoyable it is to look back at names old and new on this thread. Thanks Dee!
SR has definitely been a comforting place these last 5 and a half years of sobriety and here it is being an encouragement again.
Best wishes for health and peace to all of you (with a generous helping of laughter and smiles too ).
