Dear Everyone,
As we approach the end of 2024, whilst it may be a time of celebration for many, we remember those who may find this time of year very difficult.
We want to make this space available for members to connect with each other to share their challenges, strategies to cope and any hopes and dreams.
Remember, you are not alone.
We are here for each other.

Hi @tyme
I hope you're doing Ok, thank you for sharing this, this time of year when everybody is celebrating, and being happy, for some reason I feel sad. I always feel like being alone and reflecting on my past life, learning from my mistakes and thinking about the homeless and less fortunate families. I am always grateful for what I have every day.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday 🙂
Take care all.

Hey @Hope2Recovery ,
Thank you for posting.
It may seem like 'everyone' is celebrating, but I know for a fact that many aren't. You are not alone in feeling this way.
For many years in my life, I was far from 'celebrating' new year's. In fact, it was my most difficult time.
I'm here if you need a chat.
