Wow, the love that I feel here is absolutely incredible. I do fit in. 
I'm finally feeling a little bit better. I get so exhausted during the day. I have been getting at least 7 hours of sleep at night, yet I still feel exhausted in the day. I have trouble in school sometimes because my mind is just so tired, but I'm trying so hard. I hear this improves with time.
At least I have something wonderful to look forward to, right along with my miracles of today. What I do today, will reap rewards tomorrow.
I'm growing, healing, and getting stronger by the moment.
Cravings will not win over me tonight.
Love,
Cheryl

Thanks guys. Just hanging in here, stepping one day at a time. Doing what I gotta do to stay where I wanna be. Not easy at all, doable and something that I can always have if I work hard at it. Sobriety is a wonderful gift and each day free is a day of true blessings.
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks for me. Almost at the one month mark!!

I know about the emotional rollercoaster and the need to connect with others. I know the feeling when no one replies to a thread fast enough for my liking. I feel no one cares -- like everyone is part of some other clique. Dig deep for some patience -- we care about you and your recovery. I glad you are back. You make a difference by being here!!

We gotta give it away to keep it--so don't go away--just keep giving. I try to jump on line during breaks at work--or lunch--can't always get the opportunity--but, I can see how SR can quickly become a "home group"--don't give up, don't give out--just give, you can't outgive the universe, and it always comes back. One of my favorite songs is by Macy Gray. This is from "A Moment to Myself" Hope it helps! /They're all lookin at you, you've got everything to lose/Get up and dance girl, sing your tu-ra-loo-rah-loo/And quit b----in about how don't nobody really love you/Spread your rubber lovin and it bounces back to you/ Dance girl!

Dear Cheryl,
Congratulations on your 3 weeks. You must feel so much better. Sleeping and eating can make all the difference. Both are hard though, in early recovery. I am right there with Kathy having stopped and started more times than I care to admit. You are an inspiration though, my sweet. Keep up the good work, I am so happy that you came back.

AngelHugs, I never really thought about it in terms of who replies. I have read many of your posts and enjoyed them. I don't reply to many posts or I would be on here all day and whilst thats not unattractive, I need to do other things as well
I take much support, comfort and joy just from the fact that SR is here and I am welcome and can join in.

I am glad you decided to stay. I have had the same feelings you do and I have been here for almost a year! Don't worry. People are glad you are here. Some threads seem to go on for days, while others only get a few replies. I assure you that you do belong here. Just like I do and anyone else who is battling the monster of addiction. I have found that when I get to feeling left out it is usually because I am allowing myself to sit on that pity pot and I need to do something to get out of myself. Most of the time, just looking for someone on here who needs help ends up helping me.
Thanks for your positive initial post. And look at all they replies you have received! You obviously helped ALOT of folks.
Keep coming back!

Hey stick around. It is not that they do not care, just sometimes I have time issues with work and all. I read your posts,......so don't leave. Everyone has something good to offer. Hang in there.
