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

Warmest hugs @REDLINEZ750 and see you in approx 10 days, if/when you're ready.

I havent asked the nature/reason of your stay, because I never want you to feel pressured or as though prying into your life more than you wish to share. 🥰🤗. But know I am open to any topic, any struggle, that you or others have. No judgement. We all have our challenges, and the fact we are the ones trying to learn to cope and/or improve ourselves and our lives is the most important thing.

Travel safe. Put your recovery first. You've got this, even when you doubt yourself or panic. 😎

Hey @REDLINEZ750 I just wanted to say how thoughtful your post was. I also realised that in my earlier replies to you on other threads, I wished you well a day early- sorry about that. 🙈

Everyone here has shared such kind words, and we’re all behind you. Your strength, resilience, and commitment to your own growth really shows.

You’ve been such a positive presence on the forum and I’ve genuinely enjoyed all our conversations, so thankyou!😊. We’ll be here whenever you are able to chat. I wish you nothing but the very best on your journey, take care my friend ☀️

@TAB i hope your well at end of surgery @heartathome @Jynx @rav3n @tyme @Chasingsunsets @MissGremlin @Cuddlebear @everyone else that has posted such positive kindnes i thank you and wish you all well mutually, i know how the term i love you has been so over used by humanity toi not carry the meaning it should but in this instance despite aninmiosity i mean it,

even if someone said how you never seen them id say niether did a blind person see those that cared for them they loved with thier entire being,

if you need to see a persons form to gauge intent. genuine care or beauty of heart then you yourself are judgemental and lack everything that is what you believe is love.

just my opinion its not a debate as i am grateful i wont be abandoned by your type of conditional care and compassion again.

they have allowed me to use the laptop today as i wake up every morning calling for Pooks and with the meds i forget why hes not beside me and panic i lost him then wonder where i am its ugly and when they ask is there something to help i asked for phone to talk to my forum family.

once they realised what i was talking about they bought out a laptop so i could say hello.....

HEEEELLLOOOOOOOO 🤗

i dont want run out of time trying catch up with other threads so posting herre so i apologise if you have matters of urgency or struggles i dont mention its just i havent seen and i do wish you all the best possible solutions

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

i sent early in case lost it and on different lap top

so yes i have missed you all and feel very blessed to be able to be here now on day 3

my daily reading is from Jobin a handout called thrive the heading is Job and the Ecclesiastes the path to wisdom i dont know the passage it just says on the top of page NOV6 Job 2

GLORY IN SUFFERING

i am also blessed in the fact theres only one other person in here when it has accomodation for 11 which means no hypervigilance, no anxiety currently, more attentive care from staff that arent overworked and able to be more patient. and very quiet sanitised surroundings.

theres no windows in sleeping dining area and its in basement of a building however theres a outdoor place with a kind of cute way of barring us in that kooks like art yet ckearly made of bars your not getting over or through without oxy cutter or grinder the thing is if i stand where i stand theres the top of a tree i can see a few blocks away and its the greenes t green amongst the concrete trees surrounding it.

straight across from where i stand is an old building a surry hills lane width away and its like my mountain as in it does change but is always the same .

i feel safe, the food is really good and cant be faulted at all and i must be behaving coz i got to say hello and wish you all the bwest,

again anyone i may not of tagged into y=thids at beginning was through no reason than i was struggling to remember them and all are wellcome to read these words and know they are included

love you guys talk soon

peace and picked flowers to all

@All moderators & entire sane team too
