When we post I drank again or did drugs again, alot of responses are don't do it again, go to meeting ect. I drank again over and over, promised family everyone I was done. Obviously I was lying. Didn't stop till I faced myself. When I see post like that, I wanna know why you keep doing it, stress what you stressing about ect. I think then I can help more with reply. Just gotta know what's really at the core.

Sometimes we need truth and tuff love. Not a pass.
I think a lot of us are tired of our own bullshit, and know the reasons are just excuses. Rather than say I drank because this or that, we don’t give the details because we know why we drank. We drank because we wanted to. We wanted to escape all the pain and frustrations of everyday life. As for tough love, yeah it’s hard to find that balance of telling someone they gotta get their act together in a nice way. The good thing about this forum is you got some people who will be super nice and supportive, and others that will be more blunt and to the point
