I recall reading one of your posts on a thread you started. I realized I had found a smarter room.........Now if all those brains could keep us sober!!!
Thanks C2 for all your support and guidance

I think thats how it is in aa or on this board. At first one might have a lot of doubt and questions and tug of war about how they feel about what they are hearing and reading etc.. but then stuff starts to sink in....
Yes, could not agree more! Once we can do an ego check - really hard for me - we might just learn something@!

Thank you for your posts on SR over the year as I have really enjoyed your perspective.
Thanks Verte - same to you friend!

That's why I was hesitant to join way back then. I knew that actually joining meant that I was actually acknowledging that there was a huge problem.
Accountability is part of staying sober one day at a time for sure! Thanks Melinda for all your great posts = huge!

One of the great things about SR -- and there are many -- is that our fellow journeyers help show us not only that it's possible, but sobriety and recovery are about so much more than abstinence.
This is taking more time for me.......I did a lot of hanging in there this first year, but am starting to see more and more the wonderful potential in true recovery. Could not agree more!

Fly - I had the same experience when I first came here. I wasn't ready to stop, but once I got involved with posting and reading, it was all over. We are so proud of you for one year sober! Even better days lie ahead.
