Often, when some of us (even those with lots of sober time) have a bad day, it's good to be able to vent in a place where you feel safe. When you need a friend at 3am, there's always someone here to say "it's going to be okay".
But it's not all gloom and doom here. In fact, there are a lot of success stories shared here too! Many of us are kicking butt. We are getting new jobs, moving to new homes, learning languages, writing novels, sharing artwork, and building awesome families. Someone on this board just accepted a new job today, in fact, and it was fun to congratulate her. There was also a post recently titled "What do you do for a living?" - you should read that and see what an intelligent group this is.
