I have long since been the mom at work dolling out advice to the bright eyed young ones who will probably never listen. Sometimes they just want to be heard and reassured that I care enough to offer advice. Sometimes they actually think that I am right. I, too, am frequently wrong about my addiction and let myself down repeatedly. I think that I have a handle on it and then find myself staring at the person in the mirror I dont recognize anymore. As a fellow addict, you most likely do offer some insight in your advice that you give others. Dont give up the position. Many people could use your thoughts and experience, but keep in mind that you, too, must listen to others who are in the same position. We all have input. We all need help. Walk the line between and allow for literal give and take. I will try to heed my own advise as well
