Everyone has a tale to tell, yeah… that doesn’t diminish your own story. We all have struggles, and it was cool of you to share what some of yours are.
Also…
I think it’s cool you’re my sober twin 🙃what are the odds? Ha

If we don’t want to hear what you need to say, there’s a simple remedy - to scroll on by.
I can relate because I too am an alcoholic, although blessed with sobriety for 9 years now. It’s too bad most of us don’t have videos of those hours or months or years that we drowned in alcohol or other addictive substances. Even after we stop using, those substances still lie to us. They don’t love us and they do not want the best for us. They want to conquer and destroy us. They sing siren songs about how great it is to be drunk when it never was.
Sobriety is a naked un-numbed human being seeking truth - our truth and that of others. It’s beautiful and terrifying and difficult. When we stop blurring the sharp edges with substances, it’s a startling awakening, like coming out into the sunlight after living years in a cave.
It is also so vastly necessary. And so astonishing.
Never hesitate to reach out for a steadying hand or encouraging word. Or just to babble.
One day at a time, my brother.

I have had this bad grieving feeling for about two weeks now and I think I might know how you feel. We struggle through and make it to another day. I’m here reading because I feel clostrofobic. I’m so tired now.

Not sure what you're trying to say, that people irritate each other on here? 😳 that you feel posts strive for attention?
Perhaps there is some of that but there are also nice people here (and psychos)
I also erase many comments and don't posts posts to the tune of 245+ now

@YoMomma Oh yeah 95% of individuals on here, I'm good with. But there few that have "irritated me" but only because it was unnecessary and grossly misplaced. I mean when a few days pass, the individual starts saying short worded insults towards me and contributes absolutely nothing positive to say in light of the current topic, we're on. Basically little airsoft shots at me, but it's done randomly.
@YoMomma I see your asking in a somewhat passive aggressive manner. Is it that you just haven't seen that type of behavior at all or can't recognize it? You are asking me, if I believe my own words that I wrote last night? I literally don't remember what I said at this point. (I'm catching the oldness, I think.)
And you're literally answering your own questions, as you finished your reply. 🤣
Yes people do and will irritate each other on here.That's human nature.
That's why I stay away from the News channels, especially since the beginning of this year. From a heavy misanthroptic stand point, I don't think we have a great thing going for us as a long-term outlook or aspirations. Suppose it definitely matters how and were your sitting in all things now.
Lol Ok to finish up.....
And people striving for attention??? Have you read the majority of what people post or reply too? Have you read mine? Well if you did, you'd know, cause im stupidly dumb, with my antics at times. I'm always fishing for.... the ONE.
But my point before had nothing to do with seeking attention. I mean in a way, but it's them getting off on the detriment caused onto others. Been know for years.
I mean thats why bullying exists. To make themselves feel validated in there actions. For their own selfishness.
Ok Good day 😊
