Heartfelt thanks

Just a quick note from me. I've been completely sober for almost 2 and a half years, now. I came to Soberrecovery.com when I was at my lowest and got help from super generous and caring people who helped me. And even though I did not participate frequently, just knowing they were there was like having a big safety net of selfless, caring, and concerned people who had my back in case I stumbled. I have completely changed my life now, removing myself from an industry that was so toxic and repressive, and opened a Bed & Breakfast, where I still get to interact with people from all over the world, but in a more personally responsible way. Still, life is life and I still get thrown curveballs and I still get down- even depressed- and even think about how I used to tip back a bottle during these times... often feeling a little nostalgic even ... but I know even my worst day sober is still better than my best day drunk. I have since settled in to a new normal and I am supremely appreciative for the kind support I received from selfless members on this site. So... thank you to those who interacted with me directly and those who are currently helping other like me. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Very kind regards,

Neil
