Thanks so much ladies, it was like therapy writing this post, im happy to share…to be honest and vunerable because im not ashamed anymore…yes i did things i regret and that hurt people…i own that but all i can do is keep going with my sobriety to make amends, i look back and know that i was truly ill with that horrible disease, i thought if i told it exactly how it was then people could identify with it and hopefully realise they dont have to feel that way either…there really is a way out… im glad to be on this journey with all of you too :heartbeat:

Funnily enough i did the same…used it as a timer first then discovered this place, i agree that its fucking beautiful…some of the things ive learned on here arent just about recovery but life lessons and advice that il carry forever, this place has made me realise why we as humans need each other…obviously connection plus different perceptions and wisdom on things from others that on our own we would have never even thought of…that to me is golden :sparkles:
