....for putting in more effort than I ever have to keep myself squared away, and for pushing myself to reach out and be helpful to other people struggling, despite being really introverted.
My higher power, my higher truth, me, at my best. Sober. Clean. Being helpful. Not making bad things worse. Being mindful. Pausing.
Some hours of the day I am all of those things. Some hours of the day, I'm only clean and sober, but struggling with the rest.
....and also the Drive In
at the very least, you are clean and sober ! 
Love your profile
Dude... what's with the panty shot? What's your deal?
You're seriously gross. Pïss off.
Thank you!
So It’s ok to say what you just did Taylor even though it’s rigorously honest? I don’t care what your opinion is by the way. The fact of the matter is that based on a minute text , your panties are in a bunch and you can’t handle it , not for lack of brains but political correctness.
I was held down and sodomized by 3 14 year old boys at an exclusive boys summer camp when I was 9.
I never showered in front of any guys for the next 30 years. Body shame. I’m not circumcised and that was the reason.
This is ducking recovery. AMA that means raw , authentic definitely not political correct.
How dare you call me out in my safe place.
If you don’t like what I post then put on your big giro panties and don’t read it. It’s that’d simple.
You think I agree with everyone posts ? No.
But after having worked crud steps twice , I have enough awareness to know that recovery is different for everyone and if you don’t know someone personally, don’t take it personally.
Terrible experiences in your life don't excuse you from being a creep. You think you're the only one who's been through terrible shït?
Sorry your life has had circumstances that were really terrible. It doesn't mean you're insulated from being called out for being tacky and tasteless. Stop posting your phone number and maybe consider not posting pics of you in your underwear.
This post was MY SAFE PLACE. Not yours. If my response to you was unwanted, then it's YOU who can choose not to read. The kind of attention you appear to be seeking would probably be easier to find if you wrote your name and number on the wall in a truck stop bathroom.
Good luck to you, I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for and that you don't allow yourself to continue a cycle of abuse you have gone through.
Bro! For me, that was a great response! You were both compassionate and strong with your words. I couldn’t agree more with you. You’re getting soft in your old age my friend 
I’ll add one more thing to your comment that Charles seemed to completely ignore. Two is a young lady (like very early 20’s). She struggles with this F’n disease just like every one of us. What about her safe place Charles!!! She comes on here and shares her stories with us in hopes to both help herself and others. We are here to help and support one another. There are other sites to lurk in and prey on their vulnerabilities. Hope Charles can get some more help. This certainly is a sign of someone who needs it
Hey Charles! See my reply 
. Some of it is directed to you. I believe you owe Two an apology, and I hope you get some help
Thank you, my friend.
Wow Taylor, that comment thread went south. 
Great post though! Sometimes I forget about the commitment I have made to a sober life. A pat on the back is in order and you reminded me of that.
Being helpful and not generating wreckage is huge. Thanks for posting.
And drive-ins rock.
I blocked that fool so I don't have to read his psychobabble anymore.
We gotta be accountable for not only the bad things we've done but also the good. Self depreciation is poison!
As my first sponsor told me often. Some of us are sicker than others.
