This is a very good site, it'll help you.
I drink even though I have a genetic disposition to alcohol addiction (both parents). I've attended AA at times. It's so weird. I never thought too much about it, but I have to have a buzz to feel normal sometimes. Isn't that sick? I have to watch out for any substance. Right now I'm in sort of diet so i'm cutting down on the booze. This isn't much support but just a fellow traveler.
it doesn't matter if we have 5 hours or five years. we all have our own experiences and there are always others we can say a kind word to that are in worse shape! sometimes all we can offer is to let someone know they aren't alone in their struggles. and sometimes that's enough to help them hold on a little longer. i have found i can learn something from everyone, no matter where they are in this journey. take care-gm
i've offerred words of wisdom and reality here to others who have not liked it....i will speak what i know and don't mollycoddle anyone with this issue...like my dad said u gotta poop or get off the pot!:)and if u 've noticed many will post here......get good feedback and we don't hear from them again!
If you feel I'm qualified to answer a certain area of posting call on me in our pm. I send a note or PM to some people. Sometimes I read the posts and leave it up to others. I don't feel the capability of helping some with their certain problems delicately enough :0} Honestly, there are times, where wisdom tells me that what I want to say would send them running, so I say nothing. You KNow the "wisdom to know the difference, kind of thing".
ttyl.
i agree dear!where are the ppl in recovery who used to post here?i answer what i feel equipped to answer!and i'm sure some get tired of my postings but i don't care!:)I am the CL in the HPV forum.......several ppl that used to help me got tired of it....and i am the lone ranger there and have asked several times for ppl to help......no response!
