I went online to look to meet wone in my area and met this woman and we talked and than I called her and it ends up she sounds like she thinks she may be an alcoholic and I spoke to her for like an hour about it. It's like I might try to be a jackass and not give back to thise in need but God will put them smack dab in front of me LOL

SO funny. I ended up renting an apartment in Toronto a few years back and lived beside a father and son who both had substance abuse issues. It's funny how those things get put in your path. Constant reminders for me of where I don't want to be in my life.
They asked me over for a drink one time after I gave them a piece of furnature that I no longer had use for and I told them that I was in program. From then on they hid their alcohol from me when I walked past them in the back alley and seemed to gain a whole new respect for me.
It's great that you can lead by example without even doing anything other than stay clean and sober :)
I hear you with this post for sure :)

Bea, that is funny, see you are a shining star without even trying, probably an example of hope to the father and son.

I hope so, I didn't push it on them, it's not my thing. It is so wierd what comes out when you just live life clean and sober after having substance abuse issues. There's a lot more of us out there than I ever thought :) Goood to know we aren't unique (even though it's often easy for me to convince myself that I am) Lol!
