((nowheretorun))  thank you...that's a weight off my shoulders... IRL people always say i'm unbreakable, 100% reliable, the one to always turn to etc... it means i feel i can never publicly be seen to fail... guess i expected people here to reject one failure... but thank you for pointing out it's not a failure but a slip...anyone can get back up from a slip and start over...like a slip on the ice yes? and thank you for still counting me as a friend...friendship means a lot to me. |

Hey there KJ, one slip is not the end of the world.
The important this is to stop, learn from the mistake and start over. Or that's at least what they kept telling us in rehab. I can't count how many time's i've had to start over, but the people here at PC were amazingly supportive after my last relapse. We all know how seductive addiction can be. You don't always have to be strong. It's totally ok to need and ask for help. It took me way too long to figure that out. And it made my recovery that much harder. From what i've seen of you here on PC you're a really caring person. Remember that, and good for you on pouring the second can down the drain. --splitimage __________________  "I danced in the morning when the world was begun.

awww thank you. i think the hardest thing to learn for me is to ask for help and support. the second hardest thing is to believe there will actually be any coz...weird as it may sound to some...i think i'm the least loveable person on the planet. but thanks for your input and letting me know a slip is not the end of the world and that people here are supportive when it happens. |
