Venecia

I'm sure that was meant in jest ...

There is plenty of hope embodied in the people who populate SR. Today, like most days, we have someone celebrating a full year of recovery. The Weekenders thread has a ton of folks who've made into the triple digits and well beyond. Years. The monthly classes all have folks who stop by to check in after attaining long-term recovery and just want to let their cohorts know they're doing well.

I stay here because it helps me. I've got three years on the horizon.

I'll repeat what I said above. Get active. Come here when you're feeling great; it builds sober muscles. Join a class or another permanent thread.

This is a place of great -- and proven -- hope.
