Venus, I totally agree with you.

There is a feeling of family here and that we really do understand one another.

Now, how can a place be "special" when all it has going for it is thousands of people care if you live or die and are trying to help you live?

Love you, venus.

V - I was like you - came stumbling in years ago, not fully realizing what I was getting in to. I never left. I've learned so much - and not just about getting sober. We have some wise & witty people here who I'm constantly learning from. Here's to us. Long may we run.

I stumbled in here by accident 14 years ago this month and it's people like you and so many others here that are the reason I stay. Your light shines brightly, Venus, and I am so grateful you share it with me.

I love SR too Getting and staying sober was made easier by what I learned here. I've also used much of what I learn here, in other areas of my life.....some really amazing people here!

I am going through one of the hardest times in my life.

I couldn't do it without being able to call this place my safe haven.

So much gratitude for SR and all you on here.

Thank you for ALWAYS being here for us.

I agree and thank you venuscat!! I always enjoy your posts.

I joined just a little after you, I think October 2013. I was just in and out for a long time, but here I am finally working a sobriety program, rather than just trying to "be healthy."

So glad you're here with us

I love it here too and its part of my morning routine to log onto the 24 hour thread.

I have learnt so much from others and I am so grateful to have found SR and its fantastic people including you Venus. It really has been a lifeline for me

You are a real asset to this site Venus. Thank you.

venuscat

Thank you so very much!!!!

I honestly didn't mean for this to be about me though....we are just so blessed that this site has brought us together.

I love SR too, so lucky to have found this place, i'm forever grateful
and you've always been the first to check on me or welcome me back after a relapse venus, so i'm very grateful for you too

Venus, if for each of us it isn't about "me" what do we gain. It's all about "me". "Me" is grabbing and climbing and clawing for life. Life over alcohol or drugs.

This is war for "Me".

Four years ago I was absolutely sure I was going to drink myself to death.

I was absolutely wrong.

As Mark Twain said, It's not the things you don't know that get you in trouble, it's the things you know for certain that just aren't so.

Some SR Members gave me support and understanding. Some gave me a bucket of cold water over the head. Everyone had empathy. I needed all of it to find my path.

SR,
