SoCalDude

I'm sure not many of you know Sobersloan.. She was an Army Doctor, medic, she was a mom of a sweet girl for 4 years, she was a really great woman. She saved me... She passed away today. She let her drugs, and alcohol win her over.

I just wanted to say, she is a beautiful soul, and she is in a better place. I miss her dearly.

Oh, SoCalDude... I'm so sorry to hear this news.

SoCalDude,

Do what she could not -- do it for her.

I am so very sorry.

I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you and her family.

SoCalDude

Thank you Carlotta... I have been sober for over 1000 days now. Today was tough, but it reminded me why we fight, the fight.

Pondlady

She was beautiful and vivacious. I'm sorry for your loss, let your sobriety shine, in honor of her.

I'm so sorry--my thoughts are with you, her daughter, and the rest of her family.

SoCalDude

Opi... it has been a long time. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me and everyone else on here.

I'm too new to ever have "met" her here, but I believe that we who battle this affliction share a special bond that transcends space, time, nationality, and distance.

I can see her beautiful spirit in this photo -- a spirit now freed of the earthly burden of addiction.

Peace and comfort to you. I would like to pray for her. Could you PM me her first name, or a nickname I can use in my prayer?

SoCalDude

Thank you. I don't need to send a PM, she needs all the prayers we can offer. Her name was Michelle O'Rourke.. She was on here as Michelle Sloan, but she deserves her last name of O'Rourke.. She was 1000+ days sober as well, but was given pain meds during her surgery, and went downhill from there. When I needed to drink, she was there to tell me not to.. She was one in a million.

I am so sorry for her passing.

((SoCalDude)) Thank you so much for your kind words.

When I reached out for help, many members reached out to support me.

I'm walking the road with everyone else here.

SR and its members are some of the most wonderful people, I've had the pleasure to meet.

My heart is heavy today with the news of Michelle's passing. Keeping her little one in my prayers. I'm heartbroken for her.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, as well. I know your heart hurts.
