alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never seen

this will be my last sunset from my room this summer and this is my last night where my lion demands my attention and through one look says you packed that bag again how long dont think i dont know.

i just want to say in one spot not over many threads im not afraid because of you all.

i am only able to take this journey because of you all and you need to know you really are valuable part of peoples lives even though not in person you are somehow more real than those with faces.

hell you even have faces in an aura presence kinda way i notice if you guys havent noticed every individual has various struggles every day and somehow know where the support is needed more from a post and that person is shown care, support comfort and given space to safely share what ever they do or dont want to while sharing laughs, positive picture things and genuine care for each other.

i could go on

iwont

need try sleep last night in my bed this summer too and its ok because you my forum family have been taking my rants and fears and insecurity,raw unfiltered over sharing and knowledge of my mistake with patience understandinfg and without them things id still be falling because no one else was reaching to slow me down and find a path back out.

on upside im no comms for at least 10days so i want to post this here for you guys so all know you are appreciated, you know who you are and @moderators all of you, peer guides and supports really for me ive felt such a sense of belonging i thought was lost by losing contact with family.

not one of you asked why i need to do this you know, think about where else so many people dont want to know such things as a whole, for someone thats struggled with addiction since 15 i noticed it and its a first you are truly non judgemental and have made a positive impact for me so please know your worth.

i also thought if this is here you and i know where to go see the pookinator if you want see him before i get to again.

im only going tag a few so it doesnt look like i missed a few out im going leave a shitload out and i think they will tag others and so on and if not maybe they stumble acyoss it, sorry for typos and grammar just smashing this out and lying down few hours with me mate before car gets here 7.50. deep exhale

@tyme @TAB @Glisten @ENKELI @Chasingsunsets @MissGremlin @heartathome @Mustang67 @rav3n @Appleblossom @AuntGlow @Shaz51 please let those not here know i meant nothing by leaving them out and all the support team are part of the family i speak of as they see more than others hehehee night guys will try get on before handing phone over

Re: alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never seen

I haven't even read it properly yet, but you might have to go off soon. I just wanted to let you know that I'm so proud of you @REDLINEZ750 ! I'm glad that you are a special part of my SANE family. I won't ask questions now because you have many other people to connect with and they could take the laptop off you anytime. Just know that I'm thinking of you and praying! I want to know if you can get your meds. That's not asking a question. It didn't need a question mark! 😂 Much love and warm vibes 💛

Aww @REDLINEZ750 glad to hear from you!

Sad to wake up without Pooks by your side, a rough start to each day for sure!!

Glad you're finding little glimmers like the tree and that the food is good. Be gentle with your wonderful self, hope there's plenty to keep you occupied and entertained!!

Hugs!

Re: alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never seen

I couldn't find Tracy Chapman but found Toni Childs instead. I've heard the song before but not the lyrics. Many rivers to cross is quite a deep and emotional song. I didn't know that! I'm glad you're in a safe space @REDLINEZ750 ! I'm also glad they could organise meds for you! We can't go without our prescribed medication! 😁 That's really sweet of you not to take your lunchtime PRN so you could stay up and connect. It was a shock at first because I thought you must have gone back home. I know the pull of addiction and little lions! Then a wonderful surprise! I'm glad they've let you use their laptop.

I'm glad you got to read it all and see how much love there is for you on the forum!

God is good! 🙏

I better go and respond to some posts. It always gets hectic on the forum around this time! You're doing great! Talk soon 💛

Re: alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never seen

I was really upset when you first left but am okay now because I know that you're coming back! I'm happy you're there and am very proud of you for what you are doing! I do miss you though, my friend! 😌 My son is coming down today with his support worker. It's a very rare occurrence and he's doing it because I asked him to. That will be my highlight. He's doing okay at the moment, which is good! I'm wondering if they have programs or meetings to attend. Have any more people come in yet? I wonder how you're going @REDLINEZ750 . 💛
