10356 has 5 yrs clean!!!

[dominosarah]

I want to take this time to celebrate Lesa's clean time.  I also want to let you know about this amazing woman.  She and i met almost 5 yrs ago here.  I was first drawn to her by her pics of her dogs, Bonnie, Kallie and Wulf(my dog!)  At night i would scroll thru her pictures and those pictures came to life.  Soon we started conversing and found we had alot in common.  My life hasn't been the same since.  She has to be the most caring person with the biggest heart i have ever seen.  Her spirit is so calm and serene.  She has climbed out of the depths of hell.  I am in total awe of her as i am not so sure i could do what she has done.  She has grace, elegance and strength and it radiates off her.  I am so proud to call her my friend so on this day Lesa, i want to celebrate you and all that you are and all that you have given to me.  You have been my rock, my shoulder to cry on and you understand my twisted mind and never judge.  I wish you peaceful moments and improved health.  I love you to the moon and back my friend~

I'm sorry to hear of your health problems Lesa!  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, I sure hope you get the good news next week about your kidney function.  It's very possible, so keep those fingers (and toes, and eyes) crossed!

You're a brave, strong woman, despite not always feeling like you are.  Heck, all of you are warriors.  You guys blow my mind on a regular basis.

Yes...congratulations to you dear Lesa!  You, IBK, and Domino paved my way and were my strength more times than you realize...So, please know, even if you felt bad, you were always helping...

I think Domino has 5 years sober from whiskey, also...Right Sara?

I'm praying right along with you for Stage 3!  

Have a Warrior kind of day!

Love- Vicki

[IBKleen]

I don't know what more I could possibly add to what Sarah said. You are all of those things and more lady. You are a very special person in my life and you will never know how much you have helped me, and still do. You are my favorite little hippie girl and I love you dearly. Congratulations on a huge milestone. May you have many, many more. Sending love and hugs on your special day....

[10356]

Thank you very much Connie. Yes we will take stage 3 !! I will be sending a prayer for your husband and I will up-date after I see my Dr. next fri. You are all the most compassionate group of peps. The love here could heal the world. Thank you for allowing me to be included.. Now I cry only because I feel Grateful...

[weaver71]

Wow Lesa, that is really amazing. You held my hand in some dark times. Thanks for hangin around so long, you are a true gift to this place. I hope the next 5 yrs are twice as awesome. Rock on my friend.

[clean_in_ks]

FIVE....5....FIVE YEARS!!!!  Woohoo Lesa!!!  

I'm glad you mentioned your pics being gone...cause the other day I looked at your profile page again and there wasn't much there...it concerned me.  I'll look forward to you re-posting whatever you are comfortable sharing :)

I will be so anxious to hear the results of your bloodwork next week...and praying your eGFR hits that magical number "30"...my hub has been able to maintain Stage 3 numbers for a year...not improving....but maintaining...and we'll take that, won't we?

I understand health issues affecting your "participation" in things....but whether you are posting...or pullin in and taking care of YOU.... please remember how many of us love you~
