Many Struggles today~

[dominosarah]

I saw so many people struggling today.  My question is why didnt anyone post a thread on the forum.  This is a "we" thing, not an "i" thing.  Cravings are a very difficult thing and should be taken seriously.  This needs to be talked about as it helps us all.

Lets see, i lost my mother, a couple friends, had a coworkers daughter get murdered, had an awful coworker who flaunted her pills in front of me whenever she got the chance and i finally got the kahoonies and left that job.  I have said goodbye to 2 of my beloved pets.  Most know i am a grandma and those babies are the loves of my life.  I have talked about everyone of these things on the forum.  I have bared my soul many a times...........

Well I have to agree. I was screaming for some people with time. I wanted to know if this is all normal and how long can it go on..The emotional or the cravings. Will it ever get better or ease up..How else will we know if we do not have the Old Timers on. I am a babe in the woods I need help..lol

ok i was trying so very hard to keep  my mouth shut on this topic, but i think it would help so much to hear people with a substantial amount of clean time post as well.  Not to say that they don't offer amazing advice and the amount of knowledge that they have, but at times its nice to hear about there struggles as well.  now i am not saying i wish anyone with clean time distress but i am sure y'all still have some battles in life to share.  I feel that folks feel more comfortable posting on there status and or journals as they don't want to feel judged and or feel that they are not comfortable to share on the open forum.  If the community leaders shared more often about themselves maybe others would be more inclined to open up as well.....This is just my opinion.

I have posted quite a few times about my struggles.  I had a coworker who brought pills to work, i have posted on deaths of friends etc.  I learn something everyday here.  You think we should post somewhere else?  This isnt a cake walk for some of us who do have some time clean.  I am only one pill away or drink from disaster.
