Dee and I, with the backing of MG and the other Mods, intend to keep the Newcomers Forum, a Forum of Hope. There is hope, there is always hope, and sometimes it is all we have. As Newcomer, I was so beaten down by my addiction that I was grasping tightly to the last bit of hope I could hold on to. I almost didn't make it. And, thank god I didn't meet you at that time. Because here I am, 9 1/2 years later, sober, happy and trying to offer hope to others.
