Thank you

As I enjoy the fruits of a new life, I do forget to show my appreciation. Thank you for your tolerance, thank you for your hope, thank you for your courage, but most of all thank you for your time and care. Even with this grumpy facade, you have loved me inspite of and I am grateful for the longsuffering you provide. Though we have never met in person, we have met in heart. Due to considerable efforts, I continue to be sober by the grace of a loving God. Thank you.

Excellent! That's a great thought to carry with me on my journey in recovery. Thank you Rufus, and God bless!

To steal a quote from CarolD
"Forward we go
side by side"
I am grateful for all of those who are on SR as each of you are a part of my sobriety. Thank you.
