Sharing a common problem and common solutions

It is impossible for someone to fully understand mental Illness, emotional trauma, or addiction unless they have experienced the pain and misery that drive us to do the self-destructive and irrational things we do.

Though mentally healthy people can be wonderfully supportive, and clinicians can help us find recovery, the best most beneficial fellowship we can find is with those who have suffered like us and found recovery, sharing a common problem and common solutions.
