NobleCause
Hi all,
I have been on and off of SR over the years. I have certain concerns about my drinking habits and I appreciate the valuable discussions and thoughts that I get to read on SR. A few years ago I remember reading posts from a participant named 'NobleCause' - some powerful thought provoking posts. I believe she may have changed her handle and wonder if anyone knows or remembers this contributor and how she is doing?
Thanks.

Welcome back SweetThing. I do not specifically remember the poster you mention, but a lot of people come and go through this community - glad that you have returned! There are a lot of thoughtful posters here - some who have been here for decades and others just a short time, hope you can join us for some of that conversation.

welp, here i guess is where i say a bashful 'hello again' after a very long time...
things were good - really, really good - for quite some time. like picture perfect good! and then the drinking crept back in, and work stress and relationship stress mounted, and then suddenly things weren't so good. tried my best to hang on, but it's a slippery slope, ya know? a few weeks ago, things got really ugly again - new bottoms, new losses, a very bad scene... it's humbling, it's frustrating, it feels downright hopeless at times, but here goes day two.

WOW, talk about a Divine intervention!! SweetThing and NobleCause, how very cool that both of you are here at the same time after being off the board for a few. These are the Miracles that most do not recognize. Awesome, welcome back to both of you.

Thanks all. Much as I wish the circumstances were different, it's nice to be back. Not up for posting in too much detail at this point, but I am grateful to be able to just read and lurk while I try to get my head straight again. Honestly, was amazed I'd even remembered my login info after so much time.

How cool is this stuff, this site, and the Higher Powers ((the collective souls here))
So glad there’s a reunion of souls looking to walk the path of life, as opposed to a long, lonely, self loathing journey.
Welcome back!

Eeek. A deep breath kind of day. Feeling all the feels in that up close, raw way that is life unnumb. Can't say it's pleasant (it's certainly not), but I suppose it is affirming on some level just to be present enough to even feel at all. I know in time much of the bad stuff will fade, just wish there were a way to speed that up.
Ready for the first weekend in many, many weekends with a clear head.

Well, hello and welcome back! It has been 10 months since I first inquired about you NobleCause, glad my note found its way to you....and glad I have found my way back again. (My previous name was SweetThing, I had to re-register, now I am CypressAvenue....anyone see the pattern?)
I am not in a great spot right now....this is day one after some low points over the past 3-4 months. But, I'm here. I hope you are well and continue to lurk and check in.

Thanks Dee....I have 9 days underway and I am feeling good. I am struggling with the thoughts about 'how long will I go without drinking' rather than 'why would I drink again?'. My family has commented on how peaceful things have been - I recognize this as well. Just need to get over the hump about resuming my drinking. This is a tough demon.
