There are so many posts here I like to read. Many people here have inspired me over the past several months. I want to thank everyone who shares their struggle with the rest of us to help us grow and deal with our issues.
Lately I really like reading weasles posts. Indamiricle is always supportive. Heck here I go. Shouldn't start cause there are too many.
Like someone said, a special thank you to the moderators, Carol, Anna and Dee. An understatement to say you folks are awesome.

too numerous to count for me. Love this site.
BUT, extra special thanks to Freshstart57, Robby Robot, Ready and Able, Soberlicious, GerandTwine and Terminally Unique for putting out the extra effort that helped me make my Big Plan.

What a fun thread.
FANDY helped me out when I was new and brainfoggy. She gave me a model of a person who got up every day, got dressed, went to work, made plans, crossed them off her list, posted daily grats, one foot in front of the other.
I needed that!

You inspire me, SFMS!
I am also inspired by those who have a slip then go right back to day 1 and try again. In the past when I slipped day 1 didn't happen again for months or years. You inspire me because I know that even if I slip I can start sobriety again the very next day.

I suppose that many newcomers and oldtimers :> tend to stick to one or maybe two forums so we don't get to interact with everyone.
Don't know if they have been included yet as me and Marie are still licking our lips after dinner but suki, bloss, Hevyn, Mark75 are also just wonderful. I just discovered itchy too, divine human bean :> and I hope it wasn't my fault that he got stung yesterday (sent him on a mushroom ring search)

Dee without a doubt, always. Thank you Dee.
Robby Robot for being such an inspiration and also bringing sense and calm between the AVRT and AA worlds.
Sapling for just being there.
JHE for understanding.
Too many.
Mostly though to the friends I have made. Too many to mention, those that listened to me waffle on hour by hour in 'class'. Names that I will always hold dear. You know who you are. Much love. Bisous

What a great thread
SFMS, you do come up with some good ones!
I'd like to thank all of the above... I come here every day without fail... it has been invaluable to my sobriety journey and every one here makes SR what it is. A world community
I am in the minority because I kind of had sobriety forced upon me (pickled liver) and I don't use a programme. I am just a sponge that absorbs all information from everywhere. Like that robot in Short Circuit... "Input Input"
Thanks guys... I'm sticking around xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you SFMS. I would never get everyone if I tried to make a list. Sometimes a cry for help from a newby inspires me too. Like your's.
I have to thank everybody you did, and a lot of others here. Some have come here in distress and are never heard from again. I wish we could reach those. But the best thing ever is when one of us cracks the code and goes on to full recovery. I am one of those and realize that I only got by with a little help from my friends.
And now I have to thank you too Vall!
Least and LF who has gone missing have been my buds through a lot of this. Way back on September 21st 2010 when I started this sobriety attempt I had no idea if I would make it. Doggone Carl is the only other survivor here of the September 2010 class that has not left or relapsed. Manz has been a bud since the old under one year club and before, and Ready and Able, Former Beer Lover, Rusty Zipper, Newby, and all the other folks in the one year and over club have kept me with no lack of friends.
And really everyone.

Yes klia, elihoping, poppy, jake and the young man who is a new father, and all those who are new and still struggling - they all inspire and make this site work even if they are not as able as the "more recovered" ones to participate as much at the moment.
Do I make sense ;? ever?
I spent far too long speaking French so am left with a franglais mix
