Sometimes, when the universe speaks, you listen. I got some news today regarding the health of my mom and it’s not looking good. I think I’ll pass on any additional responsibilities for now.

Let me get in before @Faugxh says it…
Fuck!
Terrible news, mate.
You do what you need to do, and reach out when/if needed.

Watching my mother die, and helping my dad to cope with it has prepared me for my own death. My perspective is very different than it was 9 years ago before she passed. Death is not a frightening or sorrowful thing for me now. You will be able to feel your grief and unresolved feelings and survive. You may even thrive. Message me if you want. Blessings on your house

I’m sorry to hear about your mom Dan. I will pray for her (and you) today. You’ve shared before about her and your relationship with her was a lot of things, and it was definitely deep and layered. That meaning is rushing back at you right now and it hits strong. It’ll be important to stay grounded and connected.
You’re a good person Dan, you’ve always been a good and worthy person at your core, and you deserve the chance to be your full self, now and in the future. Reach out here if / when we can help

I think I could be a good moderator if you need one. It would help my recovery and I think I could help other addicts as well.

I used up all my likes on this post and had a lot of laughs too 
I couldn’t agree more with so many of the names mentioned. I’ve only been here a short time, but have received kindness, encouragement and wisdom from a lot of you, either directly in reply to me, or from reading your posts and comments while browsing TS. You’re all awesome
