I am new and trying to grasp all the accronyms. Most are intuitive. Does "R" mean recovering, as in not relapsed?

Thanks everyone. When in doubt, I will visit the stickys, at the top. They are there for a rerason.

Next, I am going to figure out how to leave "thanks" via the button.

just click on it

Been doing that but it does not show anywhere. The Thank You button disappears. I am in need of message boarding for idiots.

I think you have to have a certain number of posts before you can do things like thanks, private messages etc. I don't know for certain, but I think so....
