I know I'm leaving some people out and believe me, it's not intentional! But these people mean the world to me here at SR, whether they realize it or not. I am very thankful to have access to their ES&H as a tool in my recovery.

Thank you, to those named above and to EVERYONE here at SR.

Every single newbie who stumbles in here and has the courage to make that first post....sometimes still drunk....sometimes not....but desperate and finally admitting they need help and having the courage to say so.

These are my heroes.

Jules xox

Dee74

LOL thanks for the mention TSH - pay ya later

I actually think we're all stand out individuals here. I've learned something from mostly everyone here.

Hopefully those I'm closest to already know how much I appreciate them.

And like Jules says those first posts get me too - that's the real reason we're here

I'll second that! Well, I guess it's really a "third" now...

Tell ya what, have been here for a bit and there are so many I wouldn't even know where to start, but I think they know who they are. They've comforted me when I needed it, gently pointed out the error of my ways, or given me a good, swift kick in the ass.

And you new guys, don't ever forget how important you are. A lot of us have come here for more than one reason, losing someone to this disease is hideously painful, often times the only folks we see saving themselves are you guys. Your victories are extremely important to us. Thanks for starting this thread.

yeahgr8

Copy and paste following, append to end of post:

Oh yes and yeahgr8, he goes without saying, without his continuing support, inspirational, no truly insightful posts, my life and experience on SR would be seriously lacking

Just copy and paste, DK i think you forgot to do this...didn't you...didn't you?!...didn't you!!!

Id like to mention masseyman for some "off camera" spiritual advice.

Ive made alot of friendships in my short while here and received lots of support..and advice..

I cant tell you how happy it makes me feel to watch newcomers gain days...then weeks..then months...hearing there happiness as they realize that it is POSSIBLE..

i gotta mention doorknob..apart from making me laugh..he represents a method of staying sober other than AA...i think that important in a worldwide site..and says to me my way is not everyones way..

And to Dee for "as above"...straight forward no frills advice....good stuff.


Navy Steve and sailor john...people i pay close attention to...for me and only me.....they talk of the solution i have found...with as much passion as me.
And work from the same book as i do!.


yeahgr8...hardwiredflaws...nicki i ain't gonna remember you all but I'm humbled by the amount of time you take for the newcomer.....
And love and compassion you freely give...

All newcomers are the most important people here...its why I'm here..they all help me more than they know.

Id also like to mention carol and Anna for all the time and effort they put in to make this site possible and for deleting some of my occasional bs..lol..lol.

mle sober..and hevyn...my two favorite women (i think!!)....for there past support and friendship....

The lists would go on.................trucker

I am so happy to see this thread and to see the members recognizing the amount of caring and support that they find here.

I thank each and every one of you for coming here and sharing in your recovery. It is a privilege to know each of you.

I have a special thanks for our Greeter Grateful2b and for the help and support that she gives me and all of us here in the Newcomers forum!

Man... uh let me see... I will be honest, not everyone on this site has been UNDERSTANDING to me, and I understand why, my autism is not easily deal able nor am I an AAer, but if I would choose of some of the best supporters... er... um... come to think of it I don't talk to many people personally due to differences a lot, I wonder if they don't like me, anyway, to those I value, #1 would probably be Photonic.

shaun00

whether you have autism or you dont go to AA makes no odds to me friend.

We all have a common problem thats what ties us together......

i offer my hand of friendship to you......because of the above and only the above.

God be with you..........trucker
