Who is Managing the site?

RJ, Thank You, from the bottom of my heart. I have let my membership slip, and for that I am sorry. I will renew immediately.
I've been here almost 3 years. It has changed my life. I still believe it should be open to those ( and I know several) who could NOT afford to be here if they had to pay. But those of us who can, should. It's a way to give back what we've been given. I've thought of things I'd add, do, but I don't have the strength or finances it would take to do what you did.
Real people come here, and if we step back and think, even on our best day we don't agree with all the 'real' people in our lives, so why should this be different? Agree to disagree, right? And the phrase I remember most in new posters comments, 'when I stumbled on this site'.
Maybe you could make the enticements to subscribe better, something those who can afford would really want to do? Can't think of an example right now, just an off the cuff thought. I can only imagine how difficult and time consuming this site has been. I only hope, in some way, it's able to be maintained. Rehabs, statistics, studies, tell you that the 'recovery' numbers are a small percentage of those who start. There have been so many who I've spoken to, privately, who just disappeared, and it never gets easier. I know I break all the rules by exposing myself too much, but I want what I have for others.
Sorry for going on, and again, if I could hug your neck right now, I would. Just know, there is a place in the South where you will always be remembered, and the door will always be open.

RJ-I would also like to thank you so very much for this special site and for all the time and effort you have put in here and in your book and your cd's. I am so blessed by the special friends I have made here who helped me become AF. If it weren't for you sharing your "secret", I probably wouldn't be here today. Before coming here-I honestly thought that I was the only woman who drank in secret, hid bottles and basically withdrew from others so I could "escape". I also wish that I could give you a big hug! I am so glad to hear that you are doing well and that you have moved on to a new life!! Good for you!:l:l

Grateful - I too was under the weird dellusion that it was just me that had all these issues until I found MWO. The relieve to find I was not alone was over whelming.

RJ - Quite simply YOU SAVED MY LIFE! :l:l:l
