Those are excellent suggestions while long lists REally overwhelm me!

Why are you feeling lonely, Bradley?

Simply curious.

Do not be embarrassed about anything. You were being honest and that shows you are very strong. That 100% takes a lot of courage. If you can do this, I see good things for you. When you are trending I know it’s a little intimidating, but my post was trending not too long ago. it was actually great because I got so many great tips and helpful comments. Be you man. Being here is a great step in a good direction. I have faith in you.

Please do not be embarrassed. There’s no perfect people in this world what they’re still using or sh.. life or even if they’re in working a sober program I came across something in a meeting the other day and I walked out. I don’t think I’ll be back to that meeting, and if I do, I sure as heck will not open up cause I confined it to somebody and they talked behind my back and that’s hurtful and that’s coming from somebody with multiple years of sobriety.

As addicts we are all sick. Even sober, we are still sick people and some of us never recover mentally
