Thank You everyone. This is like reading an important chapter out of "This Is Your Sober Life"... You've all been part of my recovery and I've benefited greatly from knowing you. If I've helped you in your journey, please know you've helped me in mine.

When I came here in Nov.'09, I had no idea how huge this would be in my life but my addiction was huge(even though it took me 5 months to admit it) so I feel fortunate to have found myself here. I've made the best friends ever and feel blessed to have them in my life. Sobriety has changed me over time but I don't view addiction as such a horrible thing. It's just a fact of some people's lives and having been addicted I understand so much more about myself and the human condition.  I think it's made me kinder and more genuine in my relationships so I've come full circle from those bad, selfish, muddy days...

Thanks again for your lovely remarks and thank you to the ones who came before me: Domino, IBK, lesa, Laurel, addict3...You helped me in those early days and I know I wasn't easy...Big hugs to you and to Ric and ImDONE, Mary, Mark, Dana, Deb, and Connie...Kyle, Weaver and lulu and littlebit and Vic...Evan and Ben and ariley...I care so much about you guys...Amanda, Sarah, Real, spider, motye, nonights, jugs, readytolive and takingmylifeback and the rest of my Buds...please stay strong, stay in the moment, and eat ice cream every day!  Big love to you all!  xoxo

Congratulations! 10,623 quality posts and still going strong! That's ~ 7.3 posts per day over a four year stretch. They aught to give you more than five stars once you get over 10K posts. Maybe six diamonds? What are your keys to staying clean long term (past the one-year mark)?
