Bittersweet...

The prospect of being offline for a while is affecting me - big time. Ironic, because I never was much of an internet person until I bumped into SR.
I'm not worried about sobriety or slipping. It just that... I consider SR folk part of my extended family. And I'm going to miss you guys and girls SO very much. I tried to shrug it off, I mean, it's only temporary. But let's face it - I dearly care for each and every one of you. And I'm so grateful for everything you've given me, so very selflessly.
One of the things I've come to understand here is that there is a lesson to be learned in every situation. So I'll be open to that.
I just dread goodbyes.

Hey bubs, you are special to everyone here as well. I wasnt an internet person either until I discovered SR. Seriously though, you are making it sound like you will be gone forever, which I hope is not the case. Good luck.Posted 11-20-2008 at 12:32 PM by adore79 -

Goodbye?
Hey Matt, are you really leaving here? I guess so or you wouldn't have posted it but I am really going to miss talking to you. I sent you an email earlier and it should have my personal email address so whenever you get a chance please send me a message. I look forward to our conversations! Please keep up all of your hard work and we'll miss you!
Love,
Jess

As part of your extended family, I certainly will miss you while you're away. But coming back will be so sweet. You will experience a blessed event and come away not as a "changed man", but as
"A Man With a Child in His Eyes".
I can't wait for your return. Spend plenty of quality time with your family, and when you return you'll get to spend lots and lots of quality time with us!
Anxiously waiting for you! Many prayers and peace going to you and your family! Stay strong & Be Safe!
We'll be here when you're ready to come home!
Love Forever, xxx
