This is a special place

Having tried to quit before, I visited a few boards way back when. You would not believe how judgmental and combative some of these sites are. You WILL fail! There is no hope without meetings the rest of your days! If you feel better you are LYING to yourself! Ad nauseum.

The two worst was an ex Tramadol user that felt she knew more about your life than you did and a former alcoholic that was convinced no one ever gets better (they are just lying to themselves and others).

Its so nice to be at supportive place where you don't get jumped for everything. Excellent job, all:-)

I've been to a couple of meetings that were chock full of people like that. Doomsdayers and naysayers.....

They were great at keeping each other sick!!

You're right about SR tho, it's a cool place

I agree, enough, SR is a great place! Problem though, I think I'm addicted!

Peanut I wrote to you on another thread. I haven't seen your posts in a while? Glad to see you back!

Yes this is a great place to be. Has helped me get thru many times, and have never been judged by anyone, only welcomed by open arms. Hope you are doing well today TiredEnough and glad you are here.

I don't know where I'd be without SR. It's been a lifeline. I can't talk to anyone in my life about my problems, but here... I am accepted, advised and welcomed. We can help each other through just about anything and support everyone who "walks" through our door. This place is a blessing, for sure.

I'm with you, BFD. No one knows my trouble but my mom. My wife and I moved 600 miles away this month (no connections!).

The funny thing is, my wife has some letters in front of her name but has no idea, nor will she ever. She is a huge motivation for me to stop because it would kill her to know. She too great a person to put through that so SR is it for me.

I wish I could move away and start over. That sounds so nice.

It was scary to leave a supply but I know I would have had a rougher time if we stayed. Its a heck of a lot tougher to drive 9 hours to get something than 9 minutes.

Never say never BFD! Life can change in a blink and you might get the opportunity.
