1. Ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght. You got nothing to say?!?!? You have plenty to say, and you have a fine 'voice'.

2. I just have nothing to say yet I try convey others concerns friend

3. Exactly what a good writer does: he comments on others concerns from his own perspective. Even autobiographies ...

... are largely written in this way. Satisfying others' questions from a personal perspective. You have knack, writing in mainly first person but basically writing about others that's fresh and interesting. I can see a book just about Duncan and the other dogs.

4. I have come to believe that people who become addicts are Highly Sensitive People.

Highly sensitive people are those who feel strongly and deeply. They are empaths. They absorb the world into their psyches and bodies for good or bad. Trauma puts us in a place where we can not feel the ugly and harsh anymore resorting to whatever we can to escape the pain and suffering.

Being an HSP is an asset, not a detriment. Society does not get that so they often treat HSPs with a lack of understanding and compassion.

I honor you and your friend for taking the road of sobriety. Protect your whole being. Be kind and loving to yourself. You are supported by an army of people who care about you.
