I want to thank everyone here. I have never had so many sober days as I have had since I found this site. I have learned from each and every one of you.

good idea Lou: yes, I have found SO much inspiration from people on this site and that says a lot, i am a bit of a cynic at times
And I am so awed by the longtime members who have their lives under control but who keep reading posts by newbies, etc., and still take so much time to respond and help. you guys are amazing!!!!!

I have only been here a week and have received amazing support from so many I can't think of all the names. (Sorry). But one in particular was Reenie. My day 3 was so horrible and their post got me through (have been AF for 7 days).

I do want to thank everybody who even takes the time to post. Giving a gift of yourself and your time is the greatest gift that can ever be received.

You are all awesome. You have changed my life. It's appreciated beyond words.

I feel so grateful to be here.
still growing,
still meeting,
still greeting,
still learning.

And loving the road I am on; its scary, but worth it.

I thank every one of you that I have met since I have joined.

I remember first meeting Judie and Happycamper when I first joined... what a hoot! The list grew, but all in all, it is all of you. Every single one of you.

It's truly a miracle I found you all. Never to suffer alone again and to look to a brighter future. That's what finding MWO is giving me - I'm only new but feel like I have been here forever. Thanks to all of you for replying to my posts and for the inspiration all of your threads give me. You are all fantastic.:thanks:

Lou - a lovely idea! As in, a special thank you thread....yes, we all benefit from both the giving and receiving of gratitude!

RJ......a huge thanks. For the determination and energy to push this through....there must be millions of blogs/forums out there on every conceivable subject, but I can't believe there could be as much love and empathy than here....such an emotive 'subject' and yet such warmth and open-ness. Wow! I believe this is the home of eventually sober bods where people don't have to get stuck in the 'dry-drunk' zone; they can move through (even if slowly!) the triggers and emotions behind drinking because of this love and affection.....beautiful.

I can think of so many names.... But I've deleted.....sorry. Lou, it's not you; this is a great thread. But I'm leaving in RJ!

Sobering up has changed my life.... of course it has, but it has been the loving acceptance by so many of 'me' that has allowed real change. Change that means I don't need so many of my old crutches.....drink being one of them. 38 years counselling didn't get me to where i am now, all you lovely people here did. That's amazing!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Love and hugs, especially to anyone thinking, "But I....." - I'm so sorry to leave you out!
And before I bore anyone into an 'enemy' instead....byeeee!

Great thread.

Thank you to all those I have bored to death in chat! To name but a few - Flip, Sweetpea, My Own Woman, Flyboy, Hart, db2fromala, Prest4time.... I could go on but those are the recent ones that spring to mind.

Special hugs and thanks to Mike205, Starlight Impress and Pipsqueak - you guys know why.

And of course, extra special thanks to RJ who I recently bombarded with messages asking her to delete me from being able to log into this site, then I changed my mind! The poor woman must have thought I was barking mad but I realised I couldn't leave the fabulous support here.

Please be aware .... whenever we run a thread which requires specific names to be mentioned, we run the risk of alienating people.

We've done it before ie: who is the funniest, wittiest, most helpful, favourite, blah blah blah. Somebody will feel left out. This is not good.

We exist because we are. All of us. A collective. WE, not any individual, are what make up the WHOLE.

And I'm bloody thankful for all the unidentified folk who have enhanced my life and embraced my spirit.

Well said (as usual) Tawny!

I too am thankful for EVERYONE here - you have collectively given me a real life back!

For that I am truly grateful!

Thank you all!

Ditto what Tawny and Satori said!!

I love so many here, and I mean truly love them. I also care about everyone here and I mean truly care.

It is wonderful to have the MWO family. Some days when things get tough, I remember silly threads and funny comments and it lifts my spirits.

Some days, when things are rough, a friend will call me or I will call her and she will talk to me and make me know I am not alone in this struggle at all.

Wow.

Love,
Cindi
