There are those of us who are just alcoholics. That is just who we are and what we are. There are those of us in the population who are not. They are just not. It is sometimes hard, very hard for one to understand another. We are quite different but always trying to bridge that gap and communicate in a way that makes our relationships loving and meaningful. But it can be difficult at times. Let's be honest. Apples and oranges sometimes.
Many of my friends here on Long Term Abs are in late stages of recovery like I am. But we have often been to the depths of hell and have fought back up and have had experiences that we can't even describe. That makes us in some way unique and very special. You can never describe that experience to one that has never been an alcoholic. They can love you and support you and share your pain, but never experience it. That's good. We would never want them to have to do that. Thank God there were there for us with their love and sobriety to see us through.
I think what I am trying to say is that we are a special group of people. A group who share so much even though we haven't met each other. A group who understand each other in the deepest ways. I value my friends here so much. It may sound a bit weird, but sometimes, let's celebrate, to some small extent, our specialness. For some reason, we got chosen for the ultimate challenge, but we took it head on, and overcame it.
God bless all of us who struggle.
