happy happy birthday opivotal!!! 1 year!!!

June 1, 2011 is 1 year clean and sober for my dear friend opivotal.
She has been an inspiration to me and hopefully an inspiration to those who are just starting their journey.
In a relatively short period of time she has become such an important part of this site both as a chairperson to the friday night meeting and as a friend in chat.
Everyone i know walks away with more from optivotal as she gives so much unconditional love and compassion.
I am grateful to have her as a friend.
Happy Birthday Optivotal!!!! Well done. you have a beautiful sobriety!
Southbeach.

Congratulations Optival! You have always been positive during my early sobriety roller coaster ride.

BTW, could someone pm me about how to get to the Friday meeting? I might seem brilliant with a computer but I can't figure that out

South...Thank you so much for the beautiful Post. I'm so touched and grateful for your friendship and kindness. You are truly a blessing to me.

I remember, like it was yesterday, when I could barely get through a day without drinking. I felt so alone and hopeless. I found SR and began reading post after post of people "just like me". I used this site every single day to give me strength. I still do. I learned so much and gained the courage and confidence to live my life without alcohol.

I've met so many wonderful people and formed lasting friendships. I had guidance from SR members who had some sober time. A very special friend and chat monitor Endzy. Members who were starting out just like me. Each and everyone of you were a blessing to me.

I Thank the mods's, the administration and every member of SR for helping me get to where I am today. Special hugs to my "sistas" who have taken the journey with me. 1 Year!!!!!!!!!!

If I can give back an ounce of kindness, advice,or help that was given to me I am honored to do so.

Thank you all for the congratulations!!
