      @@DownHom3 Hold on!! When you made the decision to get clean you where covered in mercy! Im not a religious person I am highly spiritual and I'm speaking to you with 10 yrs clean to let you know this thing works! I came into sobriety beat up fucked up and dead on the inside...what your going through now won't last. Anything that's worth having is gonna be hard to get and you'll come to see you'll appreciate it more...once you get through this you never hav to feel this way again. You going to get so much more fro this side of life..I promise you nothing but freedom from active addiction and that its priceless. I believe in you Brandon, although we don't know each other we know the struggle and this thing will pass. Your goin to be the updated version of you. Keep ya head up and keep pushing,you came this far don't turn back now..give yourself a chance.

    man if you're just starting out, and you're fortunate enough to trip onto Benji W. Somebody wants you to stick around... Powerful message. a level of honesty that most have alot of work to do to get. I know i wasn't able to be that honest when I got here. Give yourself a break and read some literature. they wrote a book about you, and me, for me and you, by us. Kermit is another NA speaker on here that is great start. Love you all one day at a time.

      Hope you're still going Im on day 46 and came through the worst detox I've ever had. I relapsed back in 2021 the day before my 2 year mark, and went back out for 2 more years. I'm almost 40 and I've literally lost everything, my kids won't speak to me and all I have right now is my mom and girlfriend. Went to detox and rehab now back out in the real world and I'm scared to death right now... I think this is under my girlfriends email so sorry if it tricks you haha. But would love to hear if you're doing good still!!

      James K Green well man, I was told when looking for a sponsor to pick someone of whom I'm attracted to their recovery. Your real sponsor is the guy that you love listening to, the guy that gives you the most hope. So in that respect your sponsor has already been selected. Just got to get over ourselves and ask.
