nyc, I'm so glad to hear that the stress didn't lead to drinking. I truly believe that coming here to SR and posting our feelings and experiences lets the stopper out of the tank of rage so that we can move on a little easier.
I'm also very sad to think that this thread may be closed since it has helped so many of us hold onto recovery tighter than we may have alone. I know it's made a huge difference in my life. I also understand that the moderators and admin need to stick to policy so that other cases of simple chat don't become the norm. We should be glad that they allowed it to get to part 28 so that our bonds, trust, and support had time to blossom.
