We can't see each other through the window of our monitors, but we've all shed many tears this year and experienced great loss. Our hearts go out to all those who have lost loved ones.

Please share your thoughts and memories here or just light a candle or post a poem.

Christy's husband.... (((Christy))))

A blessing to our former members who have left our site.

May the wind be at your back as you move forward into recovery.

Let's take a moment to remember Jon,
the founder of SR.

With love and in appreciation...
I do hope you check in soon!

:c031:

For all our members that have had a year of Great Pain and Great Growth....

And our visiters that are not yet ready to join us yet.....:Flower:

And may we say a special prayer for the missing. For the missing loved ones like my son, for the grandchildren many of us no longer see, for those who simply disappeared in the night, and...for a special addict named Ted.

May we keep the light of hope lit and shining bright, that the missing may see it and once again come home.

Bless your heart Ann. I was just coming to light a candle for Ted. It would make my heart sing if Ted were to join us again.

This one is for Richie.

I'd love to hear from Ted too, Muse, he's in my prayers.

Mine too, Ann.

A single candle as it stands alone can light up a room in the darkest hour.

When we each stand together with our single candle,
:candle:
We can shine like the sun and light the world.

Kathy Troccoli \ Go Light Your World

There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a Spirit who brings fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

We are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

To Jon (though Jon may never see this)

If it were not for you and the dream you had these many year ago, so many would have never found a place where they are accepted, loved, and cared for; Where they could find help in that long, long journey to putting their lives back together, whether from active addiction or living with and loving someone who is actively out there or even in recovery.

This place has brought peace, love and support to so many, more than I can count. But for me it has been a home. A home where I have found friends, pleace, love and caring for who I am......

You made me feel welcome and special. You had the faith in me that I didn't, and sometimes still don't. But you believed in me. You made me a Moderator, which has been the biggest honor I have ever had. You help pick me up when I fell. You gave me your friendship and return accepted mine. I will always treasure every moment I have share with you and this place and this family that we have developed. Because of your dream, I learned how to be....and still learning from all that pass through here.

Eventhough you are no longer here physically, your presence will always be felt and will be in the hearts and minds of all that come through.........I know that it is true of my own heart.....I will never forget you!!!!!!!!

To all the Mod's, past and present, I am who I am today much in part because of what I have learned from you. A much better person, though still struggling with some things, I couldn't do it without you.

To many of the members that I have had the honor of meeting here, you are my inspiration for what my future can be and to keep trying to achieve it. Thank you for being a part of my journey.


I also wanted to thank the Mulligan group for helping us to continue our service here. Means alot to us.....this place mean alot to us. Bless you.

For all those lost and those still struggling.

Kevin

A big thanks to SR and everyone here who has helped me stay sober all these years; I love you all. And also the ones who are no longer here with us physically; you are still with us in spirit. Especially (((Trish))) our wonderful miracle.

Love and prayers to all of you, Bonni :Val004:

I found a very special friend when I first came here named LadyofDreams.

She was here for a couple of years and has since disappeared. I connected with her and I miss her a lot and wonder what has happened to her. She is a special lady, a free spirit who shared her blessings with all of us.

From My Heart and Soul...thanks to anyone posting at these sites that shared their most inner secrets that helped me grow. Your pain was my gain and I thank all of you and wish you blessings and growth in your continued recovery.

Thank you Jon. You are a hero to many here.

Kathy

Was looking for this...
Thank you Kathy

and for Indigo's brother, cohio's husband, Debbie's husband....

I want to say a prayer and thank everyone here at Sober recovery for all their help that they have given me with my addictions. One day at a time I'v stayed sober and free from drugs for more then 2 years.

And special thanks to Jon :Hat for starting this site 6 years ago. ((Big :hug: ))

Love, Rena'

Best...I can't take credit for that. I borrowed it from "JT" and I can't remember who that person was. So, I too say thank you to "JT".

Well where MG has me reaching for tissues with soundtracks and lyrics, I thought I should continue the need for more tissues.

Soundtrack: Ghost
Title: Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me

Best.... One of my most favorite songs..... :Val004:


MG... I had to add that you also pick one of my very most fav's also....it' makes me cry every time I hear it!!! What a beautiful tribute

Our beautiful Miracle ((((Trish)))) will always remain with us, she's left such a huge part of her heart and Spirit within all of us. Keep flying with the angels, I also believe as Annie does, we're all only one breath away.
