Darking, this is how to do it.

Copy everything past the equal sign. CyJSBjCxX0Y
There may be more than one equal sign, and all you need is whats between the first equal sign and the second. Click on the youtube icon first and paste it, you'll get it.

Congratulations on a quarter of a century, and a day, Darkling.

I also appreciate your opening up and sharing the "language of the heart".

Every day isn't payday (i.e. an easy day), and sometimes we go through a lot of real pain, even in recovery.

But we ask for help and we endure that pain as we seek to learn and do the next right thing.

Just to make it easy the procedure for posting videos in threads is not the same as putting videos into profiles, lol.

Nefer did a good job of explaining but here's a step by step guide anyway

PHP Code:

2. take everything after the = sign...in this case 97RjuC9YeXg

3. put it between YT tags using the youtube button



e.g.
PHP Code:
[YT]97RjuC9YeXg[/YT
4. you're done

Wow!

I am truly honoured to 'know' you.

I have 5 years coming up soon and it makes me feel teary. If I had 25 years? I don't know what I would do!! It would be tears galore!!

I see a lot of similarities - like the last time you drank and the memories you have of that.

I remember my last time and like you, nothing bad happened, but I knew I was done.

I wish you the best and I hope I always 'know' you xx

Wow...25 years, that is inspirational. .. in 25 years I will be 67.... I was quite sure I'd be dead by then. But now I hope maybe I won't, that in itself is quite a big change! Well done and thanks for the honesty of your post, it is beautiful. X

Darkling congratulations on your anniversary. Can I ask what triggered your decision to stop drinking?

because just clicking the "Thank you" button isn't enough to show how much it means to me . . .
