Thank you, EVERYONE ! :D
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone ! I've remained sober since November 28, 2010 and I credit this forum with helping me through alot of it, especially those difficult first few months. I haven't posted much but, I've been reading here religiously and all of you on this forum have played a huge part in what's helped me continue to remain sober.
I've had several moments that I would consider picking up a drink, not out of craving but an act of self-sabotage. Luckily, I had this site to run too. I would jump straight to the computer and read your stories of triumph, despair, hopefulness & hopelessness... those posts helped me remember the desperation I felt to get sober, the misery of withdrawal & the peace that I felt shortly after. I never did go to an AA meeting, as some suggested, out of fear of being "outed" in a small town. But, this has worked for me so far and I hope you guy's can respect that. I know I'm not "cured" but, I still feel pretty damn great !
So, thank you, everyone ! Your posts mean so much more than you probably realize, all of them... the good, the bad & the ugly !
Life looks so much better from here !!!

StrumUndDrang, thanks for dropping in to say Howdy. It is always so great to hear news from a poster who is sober and willing to share news of success.
Are you kidding me? Respect? I have huge respect for you and what you have achieved. What sort of 'cure' are you looking for? You don't drink anymore, you feel great, damn great in fact. I think that is the desired end state. Well done.
