"The definition of Hell: The last day you have on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become.”

Don't know where you came up with this PK, but it is an eye opener.

Congrats on a year. And many thanks for all you do for the folks here.

Congrats!!!

This is one of the most gripping sentences I've ever read: "The definition of Hell: The last day you have on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become.”

Purpleknight, thank you for your post, it is very inspiring.

I remember you from my earlier days posting here, and you are always so full of wisdom.

I actually thought you had a lot more sober time than a year, as you come across as so wise and very experienced in sobriety. I guess that's what people mean when they talk about quality of sobriety and not just quantity......you have quality sobriety in spades, my friend.

As Dee said, you have surely helped many people in your time on this site too. You have certainly helped me today.

EDIT to add: I forgot to congratulate you on your year, very well done. It's a milestone I can only dream of at present.

It is there for the taking for all of us, let's make it happen!!

Great Job Purplenight...

"If you focus on what you’ve left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead"
I am taking a stand - I hope I can draw on you and others as strong to make it to make my next Thanksgiving, not only sober for a few days but for one year+. Thanks

That's brilliant, PK. So proud of you, my friend!

And I love the quote about Hell - definitely food for thought there!

Purple knight...That was quite possibly the best post I've read in the 2 years I've been here. Your definition of 'Hell' and, your simple statement of being incompatible with alcohol were spot on!
