Oh my gosh, this brought me to tears. Thank you Reni for your beautiful, touching writing. Congrats on your sobriety and keep doing what you're doing. You ARE helping people. We need you. Even though I'm over 3 years sober and have never been in a situation like that--you reminded me of always being kind. Plus, we help others by sharing our stories. I try and usually succeed--still we need reminders. Thank you.
