This is only my 2nd day and everyone is right in saying you have been an inspiration! I am looking forward to getting back with you on the book recommendation, "Love is letting go of fear". Hope to get to know you better as my road to recovery progresses.

Many blessings and congratulations on your new life!

Thank you Chamabama for starting this thread!!

And thanks to each and everyone of you as well, I am very grateful for what you ALL bring to this site.

A number of you I have had the opportunity to speak with on the phone & share recovery, some I've met in person. To those that's not been the case (yet) I hope our paths further cross in our journey of recovery!

Off to a parade now........back a bit later.

Love to all,

Thomas

Take Care,
