It has been 3 months since I joined this forum, and all I can say is THANK YOU!

It hasn't been an easy ride. I fell off the wagon a few times. I tried and I failed again...

But I am learning. I am trying. I walk three steps forward and one step backwards. But I am learning. And one day I will be able to come here and announce a big milestone...like 6 months, or 1 year sober. I know I will.

Right now I am that shy kid that sits in the back of the classroom and just listens and takes notes, and makes mistakes, but the next morning shows up in class again...

Right now I have a few tears in my eyes, grateful tears to whoever started up this forum. And to all of you that keep it alive. Without you I don't even want to imagine how my life would be like right now. You saved me, you saved my life and the life of my little boy...

Thank you for being here every time I needed you. During every craving, every pity party. Every "I don't want to get out of bed" moment.

I OWE you big time.

THANK YOU!

Hi Patricia! I remember your first post and I am so happy for you that you are in a better place and on your way! You are right, it isn't always easy, and having each other can make all the difference, it is a gift to be among others who understand. Congrats on your time!

We are all in this together patricia, and we WILL get thru this! There isn't a soul here who has gotten thru this alone, and you don't have to either.

Keep taking steps, you never know when that one step will be the one that gets you across the line.

I think a lot of us feel the same way!

Here is a thread that includes some SR history:

"At that time it was owned by a fellow named Jon. It is my understanding
that Jon had started the site after he got clean. He lived in the Palm Springs
area and worked really hard to get this site up and running and to keep it
running as smoothly as possible."

Thanks, Jon!

I'm glad you're part of us Patricia. It means so much to not be fighting this alone.

It took me a few months to get it too. Every day I came here I gained strength and courage - and I finally was able to let go. Proud of you for your progress and optimism.
