It never lost more people than it gained

The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

richsredditYou still have a chance to make it right for yourself
richsredditEven if you disappointed loved ones at some poijt
richsredditYeah there are some you won't get back but it's part of the hard lesson you gotta learn from addiction
richsredditAnd like a lot of pain or failure in life....it becomes a teacher eventually. As cliche as it sounds there is some truth to it.
cloud_zone1When I relapse, I go back to it, when I go back to it, I ask myself what did I learn this time? And not just well uhhhh hmm I better not get caught.. what did I actually learn this time? That when you have some really deep rooted fucking problems with disliking yourself with or without a chemical release... is really what it's about
cloud_zone1I got constipated when I quit drinking and would have to go when I did drink
Happy_Smelling_SaltI recommend it to people, but I ain’t been able to get on
Happy_Smelling_SaltI haven’t been able to find any zoom links
