Oh ang...you were a mothers worst nightmare!!  Noone on this earth took the beatings(tough love to some) like you did.  There were times where i was so damn mad at you and the only thing that got me thru was knowing you were even madder at me!!  I knew you were worth the frustration, the irritation and the lack of sleep at nights worrying about you.  I just knew somewhere in that thick skull of yours it was going to click, and it did and i couldnt be prouder of you.  We have shared joy and laughter, loss and pain and yet here we are.  Tonight when i lay my head down i will thank the man above for you and everyone else who is dealing with this addiction~  love and hugs little one

I missed the original post...
Sarah - really, I don't have the words to tell you how much you're being here means to me (and many others). In June I'll be 17 months clean, and truly feel that if you hadn't been here as a part of the people who kicked my butt and moved me along, I would not have made it this far. You've supported me, told me when I was out of line (just a few times), and continue to impress me with your insight. And you are always here. I've seen folks come and go, but you continue to do the work of supporting others in need.  Thank you so much.

A day late and a dollar short. My calendar says May 28th. I can't believe I screwed this one up.

DS, you are one heck of a special lady. I am so amazed for all you do. The countless hours you spend sitting here helping others and ask for nothing in return is enough for me to put you on a pedestal but there is more...

You didn't just GET clean. You are LIVING clean and that is an example for all of us. The way you live your life and your sense of family is an example for me everyday.

I am so very proud of you and grateful to call you friend. xoxoxo

5 years is absolutely amazing!!!   I haven't had 5 years clean, let alone 5 months up until recently.  I am pushing that now.   You always give such good advice and support.   This community is lucky to have you.

Oh wow Sarah...your last comment really got to me. You're so awesome...and giving of yourself. You have shown so many here that what they want and dream of the most CAN be their reality...that they CAN have that life that seems so far out of reach! Including myself! You deserve a blue ribbon :) Thanks so much for the time and experience that you share here. We would be lost without you!! Happy 5th Anniversary :)

Well my friend 5 years ago each of us started out on this journey alone.
I am so happy you and I met and have been able to travel together and help one another along the way. Thank you for being my friend!

I don't think you realize the number of people whose lives you have touched in a positive way. It takes a person of great character and empathy to be able to do that.

I wish you and your family the very best, and can't wait for you to come for **'s salmon and biscuits!

Congratulations on 5 years!! ...................................Guard Up!!!!!!
