This is it! NOBODY cares when she stopped drinking but her, in the same way nobody cares when I stopped drinking but me.
I felt so flat yesterday, like a big cloud had appeared and pinned me down. So in Jack Recovery World, I can lay the blame 100% on Jack, as I didn’t feel like that until I saw a synopsis of what she had said and the way it had impacted on the west ninnies anyone could share a forum with. But that’s not how it works. I feel as an alcoholic, I often have to check the feeling behind the feeling if that makes sense. Yes I was annoyed at her but I have to accept the things I cannot change or I’ll overthink myself into combustion. And when I remembered that, decided to not read any more of the threads that day and got on with my work, the cloud lifted a bit. Nobody is responsible for my thoughts and actions other than me.
I hope her ‘recovery posse’ can be honest with her because if not, we’re likely to be the only one gives it to her straight snd she’s taking no heed of that, even when it’s well intentioned.
HTRIA, love ya girl! I always, always get so much from what you say

. You guys are all fantastic to ‘know’ and part of the reason for that is because I know we’re different to some other posters on other threads. Jack isn’t able to see the times of genuine concern but we know it’s all there
