Willing to try again

Good morning everyone....I was here yesterday and it was a little frightening.  Most of you seem like very caring, intelligent people who need support and empathy.  However, there are always a few bad apples in a bunch. I am glad I came back this morning though.  Now I see who my husband and I have been reading about in past forums.  We see so much of our lives in your writings.  He was up most of the night last night.  It is a scary place to be and hopefully we will find our way out just like ya'll.  It is a long journey.  Best of luck to you all.

This forum can be a big help and support or it has been for me. There are some people that try to be so negative and mean towards others. You just have to ignor and not get caught up in it.

sorry you happened upon us yesterday...of all days...but so glad you decided to come back and stick with us.  this forum is a wealth of information...not by reading the words on some website...but from real "live" ppl, struggling with their own addictions.  this forum is filled with loving and compassionate ppl...willing to put their own problems on the back burner...if not for just a minute...to reach out to others.
in saying that...please always know that these are ppl...struggling...good days...bad days...and in all stages of addiction and recovery...and things are not always like a fairy tale here...along with the good, comes pain and suffering...and there will always be days like yesterday...just human nature.  but what we must pull from "those" days is knowledge...the knowledge to put all the bad behind us, learn from our mistakes, and start the day anew...the knowledge that we are ALL suffering from whatever demon is sitting on our shoulders...and the knowledge that we have a safe place here to ask for help and receive that help.
hope you stick with us...

huggs,
kim
