I tend to lurk in sobriety forums as I’m not fully committed. But as someone in a dysfunctional relationship with alcohol (I’m one of those who can’t stop if I get started) hearing the stories of others and seeing the support of the community is inspiring and actually does help me say no to the starting part more than I otherwise would.

And though I tend to lurk, I thought I’d make a post letting other lurkers know its ok to stick around
