Have I already told you, you guys rock? The people here at SR who have years of sobriety, and hang out on here helping the sickest among us, over and over and over again. I have seen some of you reach out to people knowing the chances are almost nil that they are listening, and yet you just keep at it. I gotta tell ya, when I get ignored over and over, I pretty much just give up. I am aware that many of you did not find your compassion through AA, but some of you long time AAers may inspire me to check out a meeting and learn the mystery that is (step 12?) helping other alcoholics.

Thanks for sticking around and leading by example, and picking up the slack when most of us have thrown in the towel!
