I have been reading all of your recent posts. Each one is so meaningful and thoughtful. You really have a way with words and your messages are so inspirational. It's so nice to see you posting more, and to read about the progress you have made with your addiction. I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend, and I know you have been feeling down lately. I just want you to know that I think you are making a huge difference on this forum. The world needs more people like you. Have a great day:)

I agree with Atlas. You are a truly kindhearted soul and your offer of love, nurturing and growth shine through in your posts. Your message comes across of accountability, taking responsibility for our actions and learning from our mistakes. You make a difference, my friend :-)

Atlas, for you to say something like that really means a lot, because I admire so much of what you write.
Actually, from all of you...You girls have helped me so much, and you hopefully know how grateful to you that I am. It wasn't that long ago that I was terrified of failing at being clean...Day by day, I am learning that I don't have to be afraid anymore, in large part, because I have seen the success of recovery shining in you! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
November, short of April, in which I lost my Dad, has been the hardest month of my life. Watching my friend pass before my eyes...knowing the truth of what was happening, yet witnessing his spirit, and my own, which clings to hope. That is the nature of the spirit...to stay with life. I just needed to "belong" somewhere safe...and this forum represents that for me.
I am so grateful that I can help someone feel more relaxed about their detox program....Brenda, meaning you, and hopefully mrjer, reddog and steadfast...this time of moving the toxins out of the body, and being in that space "in between" using and not using...is a very powerful time. The thoughts and actions we undertake during this time can really set the pace for our future sober lives. It gives me great honor and fulfillment to think I can be of service during this part of your journey. Be gentle with yourselves and honor the work you are doing now. I think it is so awesome to see new faces coming...and it likewise encourages me to do my best each and every day.
Thank you all for letting me be a part of this family...and just letting me be myself. Thank you for letting me share...and thank you for sharing with me.
I am grateful every day that I can be with you all in our online community.
And Miss Jan....I sure do miss you!
Peace. peace.
