Hi everyone! My name is Dillon and I’m a recovering alcoholic just trying to stay sober and be healthy and happy. Just wanted to say how grateful I am that there is an app like this to pop into an express how you are feeling. Today I’m feeling a good amount of shame. I recently heard that shame stands for ( Should Have Already Mastered Everything ). Shame has been the hardest thing I’ve dealt with since being sober. It is what I drank to avoid. Reality and shame go hand and hand to an alcoholic.

Glad you are here and seem to know where you are. Be kind to yourself, you are a work in process. It doesn’t all change at once, but it will

And not to play the age card, but I’m always happy to see younger people here. It took me 30 years to quit…. A lot of lost time. You shouldn’t feel shame, you should be proud you are improving
