John,
Thanks for letting others that visit here know that you are one of us. For the benefit of those that are not familiar with this board, if you look in the left-hand margin where the user name appears you will often see a title, such as Moderator or Administrator. These are people that have maintained sobriety/clean time and are here to assist users, keep things in order, and be of service in whatever way that we can. Speaking for myself, I may not have all of the answers, but I'm always open to new ideas and thoughts on recovery.
