I hope I am not one of those ‘preachy’ types you speak of.
It is never mine (or I believe anyone else’s) intention to come off that way. I think reading a post could be taken many different ways depending on the mindset of the reader at that particular time.
I just know what helped me, and when I first found this forum I had absolutely no idea where to start. My life was in absolute tatters, my house was going to have to be sold to pay for my debts, my husband was barely speaking to me, I was desperate and in huge trouble.
I’m one who did try every single thing, so when I post I try to give the poster some ideas. What they do with it is up to them. We are all responsible for our own recovery, and me posting to others is a way I try to give back. I would hate to think my posts are taken as a criticism.
I’m really happy to read that you are getting through your days.
Lets face it, if there was a definite treatment for this addiction we would all do it. As Pathetic Shark (via Laura) wrote…… progress, not perfection. Happy to read of yours.
Take what you need, leave what you don’t.
Keep fighting, and I wish you all the best.
Love K xxx
