You are such an inspiration to me Dee, thank you for giving so freely of your time and experience. It's time for you to expand your horizons, and for that I applaud you, never stop growing and exploring. I'll miss you but will look forward to you sharing the next chapter in your life. Happy travels Dee.

I know love....I know how you feel. I am shattered.

BUT...we do this together. And Dee has taught us so much.....we will do this for us and for him.

We all love Dee, and want him to be happy. Because sober life rocks, and so does Dee. ♥

Fare thee well compadre

Hey dee

Your contributions here are invaluable and you are indeed a shining light

I understand the value of music and as you are a musician it is vital you honor your needs here

The way you mediate on the forums is always fair and impartial and any support you give is caring and honest

You have a level head and an energy that has brought solace encouragement and guidance to many

Of which I am one

Happy trails and see you soon

Van

I joined here 7 months ago and have been sober ever since in large part to your help and guidance. Thank you. We'll keep the light on for you.

You've spoiled us with your presence for so long! Glad you're taking some time for yourself, it's deserved. Hope to see you again; after 6 years with you, I've grown accustomed to your face.
Much love.

The second best part of all this is that Dee IS coming back, just like he said. No need for sadness, his light still shines here.

The best part is that his recovery is strong enough that he knows when to take a break and focus on that which he loves...his music. He is practicing what he teaches and taking good care of himself and my guess is will come back healthier than ever.

Thank you Dee, for your friendship and all you do. See you after your break...let the music play.

Hugs

Dee, I'll miss seeing you on here but you deserve a break!! Thank you for everything you do for all of us.. Your encouragement and support is part of the reason I am still sober today after so many attempts and why so many others on here are also sober..
Good luck in everything you do, and hope you pop in from time to time xx

Thanks for all you have done for so many of us here in this community Dee. Balance is truly important, I know you will find what you are looking for.

You will be missed, see you later.

I'm really happy your music career is taking off, Dee. That's great to hear.

I'll just say 'see ya' because I know you'll be back. I can't stand the thought of a 'goodbye' from you.
