For Liz04

Hi Liz,
I wrote a post to you concerning your topic about old timers helping the new comer, and I don't how but I hit the wrong key and lost it all.
Anyway, I wanted to tell you what I was told in my earliest days of recovery.
You can't save anyone but yourself.
The people I've met in recovery are serious about this, addiction must be delt with in terms of reality.
I am responsible for my own recovery and you are accountable for yours.
Please understand when I say, you can talk the talk but can you walk the walk to me it means, taking the necessary action to have a healthy and grand life.
Remember when a baby learns to walk, they do it in taking steps forward.
Steps! get it.
I didn't get it and relapsed over and over and over again.
Don't tell me your not walking the walk because by admiting to YOUR addiction that's the first step and the walking begins....so are we still friends?

Hey Mack,

I understand what you are saying. I am responsible for my own recovery. Sure, we can be friends. Take care.
