Not much has changed since my last post. Picked up a good deal on some second hand furniture at a neighbour’s moving sale. It was good to have a little money saved. One of the benefits of no gambling.
Lots of friction on the site. Makes the mediator in me come out. I’ve always been a peacemaker when others are upset or not getting along. It’s my nature to want everyone to see the best in each other and their potential. When you’ve been around this place on and off for a decade you see all manners of people with varying levels of addiction. I’ve seen those I never thought would fall do just that. And those that I never thought would get their foothold in recovery who have shone. Everybody deserves to be treated the same. Sometimes people are not in a place to receive the messages and suggestions of recovery and will have to go back out there one more time or many more times. We cannot save each other by sheer will. Each will have to put a great deal into their own recovery. I pray I remain open to the messages and suggestions of recovery.
