I hope you feel better soon, I know too well what the brain is like when your unwell, I too think of everything when it lingers around for sometime, everything goes through my mind it’s exhausting, but like you said…at least your sober, sending some healing vibes your way

You are very loved here, never invisible, even when you are in an insulated space. Sometimes that is necessary, and that is ok. I hope things get better for you soon

Where is this coming from? Is everything ok?
I dont think you know THAT much about the majority of us on here to be able to make that statement. I think the reason what myself and others on here are clean and sober is because we have put in the work. We all come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences

I hear what ur saying but pictures only show so much. And in all honesty… the longer we stay in recovery, the more recovery gives back to us. I know for myself that in the beginning, things were not like they are now. Recovery has given me things that i never had or has given me things back that i lost. Im sure that is the same as many others.

Are you OK? What is your situation? I would tick several of your boxes, but with my family comes pain. I wouldn’t swap my children for the world but it has been really tough.
I do understand that it is really hard for those that can’t rely on basic needs. I do think it is unfair to say that others can’t struggle though. It is all relative.

Hi all, checking in. My sister is in labour and so scared, wish I could do it for her. Hopefully my baby niece arrives soon. I don’t know what else to say right now as I feel like that is so big. Our family have had a rough time the last 15 years and it finally feels like it is getting better. I won’t feel safe with that thought until my niece arrives safely.
Hope everyone is OK, thank you all for checking in. I haven’t been so active but appreciate you all.

You being homeless doesn’t scare us. Where are you based?

There have and are people that are homeless on this app and have maintained sobriety. Be careful painting with a broad stroke and making generalizations based on your perceptions.
Have you reached out to local charities who help people battling homelessness?

We have had quite a few homeless members over the years. One of our beloved early members was homeless with her kids and cat. We have had moderators who were homeless for a time as well. And I know there are many of us who have spent time homeless over the years (myself included).
We may have similarities in life experience, or not. But what brought us all here was wanting to change our lives and stop drinking. Glad you are here.

You being homeless doesn’t scare me. I used to be a case manager for homeless veterans, many addicted. I’ve met many different people in many different places from many different walks of life.
This is a safe place, but you’re right, not everyone here can relate to your situation or the current hellscape you’re living in. That doesn’t mean they won’t be supportive. But, the more you lash out at community members here, the less willing people will be to offer a hand. I get being jaded and pissed off at the system, ready to go scorched earth. But I think pause for a second and realize using this community as a punching bag isn’t doing you any favors. You have to take accountability for your own actions, situation, and addiction. Nobody here goes to sleep with the monster under your bed, but you. We can all support you, but ultimately it’s your monster to slay. I hope you become more willing to accept the support here. If you need any help tapping into resources, let me know. I’m happy to track them down.

Hey 
no troubles at all, I knew exactly what you meant, cancer is a horrible disease and we both wish it would get cancer, it takes too many loved ones, friends people we care about, BTW it took me ages to quote right too
