Mike your an amazing person.... not only do we go back a ways but we have worked together very close as friends and Mods.... You have been my councelor, teacher, Co-Mod and very good friend.... what can I say... there are people that God sends to you that touch your life and heart in the deepest of ways ....

For me you are one of those gifts. Thank you.

I have sat and cried with you, too you and alone thinking of you..... How could I have known that in accepting the offer of service as a Mod I would receive so much more then I could give in my life from not only you but all the Moderators, Greeters and members of SR. Somethings are truely priceless in life and you are one of those priceless gifts and Im thankful to have the example of recovery to follow... but more then that Im thankful to be able to call you a best friend.

Mike, you have inspired me from the day you arrived and I will always be grateful.

I too have found the peace and serenity that guides my life today and I found it by walking with you and so many here and at meetings. Sanity is a treasure and recovery holds the map.

Hugs

No fair making me cry before lunch!!! :)

You know, that's the kind of hope I needed this morning. I needed so desperately to hear that there can be a new life. That there can be serenity and peace. Because when you're in the middle of the hell, there are days you just want to throw in the towel and die emotionally.

Thank you for showing me there's hope. Thank you.

Oh wow, thank you so much for all your wonderful compliments. You guys are the best.

Lillamy, yes you _can_ have a new life, with lots of serenity and peace. There were many days I was ready to give up, but I just stuck it out that _one_ day. That's it, one day at a time and I made it thru just fine. You will too, just like all the rest of us.

Mike :)
