Thank You _ Taking a Break
I posted this on my monthly thread, but I felt compelled to paste it here, too. I cannot begin to tell you how much you all have helped me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just didn't want to disappear with no explanation. xoxo See below:
Dear Tobers (and Dee and Soberwolf), I have decided to take a break from SR. I want to say thank you all so much for your wisdom, experiences, guidance which has in turn, helped me to save my precious life. I no longer drink alcohol, nor do I have the desire to do it. I have come to terms with my codependency and every day I remind myself that I am in charge of one life . . . mine. I have an entire notebook full of sage advice that I mostly received from SR members and I use it like a devotional every single day.
I know that I have a fountain of wisdom and a great resource here at SR should I need to return. I have tried to give back on the forum as well, but right now I find myself triggering too much and creating problems in my life that are non-existent by "spongily" taking on others' problems. My goal for 2016 is simplicity, mindfulness and no worry and so I need to remove as many worry triggers as possible.
I just didn't want to be one of those mystery SR people who drop off and everyone wonders about (at least I do). I can happily say that I am an SR success story and I thank God for this site and its members every single day.
Much love, prayers and good juju being sent to you all from me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DoubleDragons....I agree with your feelings about those that just drop off of Sr....especially after we begin to really care and worry about them.
I think it says something (good) about you that you care about the others here on the forum.
All the very best to you....

Good for you DD for realizing your needs and taking care of them. Thanks also for letting us know; it brings a bit more wisdom to the forum in that there may be a time for some of us to bow out of SR.
May God/Yahweh/Allah/Super-spook/Theforce bless you in 2016!
