awww, thanks!
I posted the short version of my story on the other thread started for me on the newcomers, but thanks for this thread, too ((Judy)).
I was telling Judy, in an e-mail, how on one hand, it doesn't seem like such a big deal. On the other hand, though, I realize that I've been abusing SOMETHING most of my life. so I guess 2 years IS a pretty big deal at my age (I'm 47).
My mom died at the age of 50. Recovery has taught me to treasure every day. I KNEW that, but it took becoming an addict and getting into recovery to truly appreciate it.
I wouldn't wish addiction on my worst enemy. However, it is a part of me, for whatever reason, and I don't regret the lessons I've learned. Today, I can try to help someone struggling with addiction, because of what I've learned..whether it's their own addiction or a family member. To me, that is a gift.
It's all about turning a negative into a positive. It doesn't come, right away, but it does come....one day at a time.
Hugs and prayers!
Amy

Amy, darling Amy:
What can I say. So often I read here "So-and-so got me through" or "So-and-so has such great words of wisdom", thus anything I write can soiund hollow or gratuitous.
Amy, quite literally, your posts and PM's kept me afloat when I was sure what was happening to me was going to be devastating. We shared a commonality that helped me cope through those very dark days. While I had (and have) a sponsor, he did not "get" my job situation and how sure I was I had destroyed my chances of continuing in the industry I loved and knew best. You, however, did.
I love you for that, and will...always.
My sincere congratulations on two years of being able to be the best Amy there can be. I see a Georgia vacation in my future!
Hoping the bear would be welcome in "real life", I remain,

Amy - Congratulations on 2 years sober!!!
I'm not sure if you know how grateful I am for all of your reaching out; like calling me when I was too afraid to pick up the phone and call you. Everything you have ever posted whether it be to me or another SR member, I have learned from. You are a dear, dear soul; and I'm glad to call you my friend...
