[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 688386, member: 20267"] Thank you. It is something I consider doing, just not until I am perfectly stable myself. I am terrified of being detrimental to somebody else's recovery. Especially early on in recovery, you are on very shaky ground. The smallest things can cause relapse. Everything you say and do has the possibility of hurting them. I am only a little over 1 year clean, and I am still struggling plenty myself. I need much more time before I am comfortable holding somebody's recovery in my hands. I am barely holding on to my own. My talent with words has never really served me well, by the way. Just made it so much easier to bullshit others, and even myself. The more clever the addict, the more dangerous he is to himself, and those around him. That is something exemplified by me. Lying to yourself is typical of drug addicts, but I was able to rationalize and justify just about every action I took. No bueno. [/QUOTE]
