I’m having the feeling of being an outcast around my family right now - not necessarily because I’m sober (2 1/2 yrs) but because I’m so very different - I’m also an empath with BPD (treated with DBT) and they are freakin stone statues that “feel” nothing - so frustrating - ah just another challenge that we warriors face - you guys out here get me?

Oh and I’m still not good enough or sober enough to be taken seriously - vent over!

I read a lot of these Tracy and I always see that u do too because you always have something uplifting to say . I think that u are great and you’ve been sober long enough to inspire me to pick my quit date , which is so hard because I don’t want to fail again … for the millionth time . So thank you chic I really appreciate you.
Oh wow Kasey - thank you - I needed that so much today - I’m letting my mom and brother make me feel like an incompetent child - and I’m a grown up dang it - let me know your quit date and we can celebrate! 
Why would you think that?
