    To post, or not to post....

    that is the question. Some people post, but there are alot who don't. For me it's like this,

    Posting for others:
    On one hand I want to post and be supportive and helpful. On the other hand, who the heck am I to give advice. I haven't even went a week yet, close but not quite. I know it doesn't matter, we are all here to help, just feel like a hypocrite sometimes.

    Posting for me:
    Yay, doing so good...woo hoo day 4....great day 5.......crash!!! fell off the wagon AGAIN!
    Too ashamed to tell my progress. Thinking off deleting this now, but I'm not.

    I simply want to say hello, sending good thoughts to all. Hoping for some back as I start day 1....yet again. This place is very helpful, I want to stick around and get it right.

    So here's a shout out to all that don't normally post, let us hear from you!

      We all have struggled at various times. Both your voices are important and both are valuable, doesn't matter if you are AF 1 yr or can only make 1 day, you are here and trying.

        I agree with Hart. Post your hearts out! It's when people fall silent that it seems they have given up getting (or giving) support, given up on the idea that they can form any kind of caring bonds with other struggling people. They just say to hell with it all, and go off somewhere, and drink.

              That's what this site is all about....helping people get a handle on their drinking. It doesn't matter how many times you have to try before you succeed, as long as you keep trying.....

              Sooner or later you will decide it's much easier to quit than to keep quitting.

              Stick with us, AK.....you can do this....

                          Sometimes it feels a little boring when there aren't new posts so I encourage everyone to post.

                          I must admit I feel guilty because I don't welcome every new person etc. But it's such a great board and there's always enough people that do reply so it all works for the good of everyone I think.

                          No-one professes to be an expert with advice here. Sometimes just sharing your struggles, etc. helps the next guy.

                          Welcome and thanks for posting!

                            AK,
                            You already know how I feel about you....I want only the BEST for you! You will get it; I know you will. You have never given up and that is the main key to this struggle. Please stay with us and post, post, post. It is such an excellent way to sort things out and get the support you need on this journey. Keep your chin up, hun.

                              Hi Miss Alaska,

                              Sometimes I think the best help is when someone out there in cyber land has experienced or is experiencing some of the same things we're feeling. There is no better solace for a young mother challenged with the responsibility of caring for little ones than another Mom. And for the broken hearts out there, knowing they're not alone is a big help. I used to think I was so clever in hiding my vodka stash until I found out (here) that I was merely a member of a huge hide-the-booze club. So, it's not so much that anyone has the answers, but that they feel our pain, our joy, our temptation, our anxiety. You keep posting, because we need the northern exposure perspective!

                              p.s. I rescinded my membership in the hide-the-booze club, but the stories are still hilarious.
