@avant-garde as ok as I can be.
How about you, are you holding up ok?
I've been worried about @Jynx aswell.

@Dreamy as ok as I can be
I'm 7 years clean and it just feels like more disappointment, let down and empty promises
I wanted people to notice for a change but all it's done is given me a very strong reminder of what I don't have and how little I matter

@avant-garde oh sweet, I notice and you matter so much to me. You are amazing and I'm so proud of you. Sending you big hugs ❤️

Not sure if you've read, most of SANE staff have been away on a 2-day conference, and hence the limited communication.
The forums are not really designed for immediate feedback and hence, sometimes, it days days for someone to get back to you. Even if they don't respond right there and then, it doesn't mean they don't care. It doesn't mean you don't mean anything. It doesn't mean you don't matter.
This is the nature of the forums, and hence it's important to focus on the people who ARE online who you can speak to. Alternatively, if you need to speak to someone, Lifeline and Beyond Blue are also an option.
@Jynx and everyone else on the team is fine. I saw them today. They will be back when they are back.
@avant-garde , congrats on your efforts in being clean. Thank you for sharing this with the community.

It's not that I get lonely in real life, it's that I miss that in depth connection to share the big moments with and I feel like I'll never have that.
Does that make sense?
