Don't Let Your Guard Down

You have to be careful. If you let your guard down, the pain is too much. We know other trauma survivors who did that and sadly killed themselves. That will never happen to us. But you can't be complacent.

The horrible people continue to say and do horrible things. I don't have control over them. But we will protect ourselves. Because you have to.

Do we want to destroy our sobriety? We think about a drink sometimes. But the pain always gets worse. So no.

Protect yourself.
