I have just found out my darling Aussie friend ' Life2plant' ( a Marcher ) has died. I don't know the details yet but I'm absolutely devastated. We often kept in touch through personal emails etc. I was going to post in the forum but don't want to create hysteria for newbies. What the protocol with this Dee ?
I can't stop crying , she was a beautiful friendly, kind , loving , intelligent , animal loving ( especially her cows ) woman.
She just tried so hard to get sober but really struggled.
An important dear friend , who I lived in here.
My first loss & it hurts beyond belief .
I love you Life2plant , you will be forever loved & never ever forgotten by me xxx

There's no real protocol W - I've done my best to ascertain if it's true and, on the basis of her name, I found a funeral notice, so it looks as tho it is.
Another reminder of just how dangerous this addiction crap is.

Snoozy, I'm sorry you are so saddened by this news, I think many of us are, especially if she may have succumbed to addiction. I remember LifeT's posts. Fellow members of SR become friends and sometimes closer than family. Sad times, indeed.

Sorry snoozy.
I never know what to say about these tragedies.
Only that it's quite amazing we can all talk and support each other.
Even though we live on opposite sides of this little planet.
And even though your friend has passed beyond the curtain. You truely did help her with kind words and support. As you have with all of us here in our little class.

Thanks , Dee , Leigh , Leshar & Bob.
I've just been in a daze since i found out this morning. I have caught up with some of her other friends & we are all feeling the loss.
It really hits home to me that it could have been any one of us in here :-(
It doesn't matter that we have never met. These friendships we have forged through here in SR are very real & very dear to me .
We have supported each other in our darkest times & laughed with each other through our good & even not so good times.
Each & every single one of you in our Julyers is dear to me in your own way. We are all of different personalities but all have an up breakable bond.
I really believe that i would never have got through this without you guys & especially you DEE when i was ready to throw in the towel & you literally saved me.
I can remember not wanting to disappoint you & trying to follow your advice cos it really DID matter to me that you cared.
I know i am only one of thousands here that you have helped , but at that time i felt you really care & really truly wanted me well . That you were NOT just saying those kind things , you actually meant them.
Thank you all of you , although we are not here as much as in the beginning , this is my one place to come when I'm hurting. I discuss it with all of you first .
I want this to stay alive & know what we are all doing 20 years from now. Life is short , we all matter xxx

Really sorry Snoozy, Rip to life2plant (josie)
I have lost an absurb number of ppl since getting sober the first 2 were in my first month of sobriety it shaped my sobriety to a certain degree this is really life or death and i know how lucky i really am thats why to some i seem a bit serious its because i am i remember riding a bus with my sister and our friend to a mtn our friend chaired that mtn i listened i was sweating coming off the drink and we went for some food after even tho i could only manage half a sandwich (this was in the 3 months of trying to get sober)
a couple weeks later that same person commited suicide it was shocking & heartbreaking
Then ppl just kinda started dying regulary id see them at a mtn then hear they were dead it got to me bad it was hard hearing it eventually i started becoming numb to it just like i know this is part of it & you never know when its gonna happen its like when we lost Ncog his death really got to me it was gut wrenching knowing hes gone thats part of the reason i post so much to try and stem the flow but i know in my heart i can only do so much

Sorry

Hello friends,
I am continuing to feel better, touch wood, and I have taken up a friend's longstanding invitation to visit her and her husband in their Mexican home, in La Paz. I leave in just over a month! She and her husband and I used to party it up, and I remember one time I was so hungover, I missed an important flight.
I told my friend a while ago that I was worried about my drinking and she said "You're telling your alcoholic friend?", sort of jokingly.
Her husband recently broke a couple of ribs when he fell down drunk.
They're drinkers, but they're good people and I want to go, but I will have to deal with their response to my not drinking, I know for sure my friend's husband will be surprised and may press me. I feel solid enough at this stage to take up the offer to visit, but I will stay close to SR for support!

Hi Leshar, sounds like a lot of fun going to a reunion.
I'm glad I joined facebook a couple years ago. It was nice to see how my classmates from High School are doing.
I've been working 10 hrs a day and Saturday mornings as well.
Between that and shoveling all the snow,I haven't been on here much.
It was nice when I worked in front of a computer daily and could check in on my friends here.
It's so cold outside it takes your breath away.
Glad I can hang out by my wood stove and watch a little TV before bedtime.
Take care everyone. Happy sober Friday and weekend!

Hi Dee 
hi all , I'm much better thank you . Losing Josie really knocked the wind out of my sails , I cried & cried. Such a lovely soul.
She just struggled so badly , it's so sad that some make it and others dot & I just dot know the reason for that.
I've had a quiet week , just reflecting on a lot a things.
I'm going to live my best life cos you ever know when it will be taken away from you.
How are you handling Marcia , Marcia , Marcia ! Is she lurking anywhere near you ?
