Thank you to each and everyone of you know I will return but first comes the next stage of my sobriety evolution which I am completely focused on

Be well & stay proactive in sobriety

Wow, what a powerful video. Thank you for sharing it and for sharing so much of yourself SW! You reached out to me in friendship right away and I'll always remember that. Take care and best wishes on this leg of your journey......

Hey SW ,
Don't be a stranger .
In my journey i've had time off from SR partly to see what life was like without it as i joined at 3 months sober and had hung round for quite a while .

Life and sobriety was fine without it for me but i do find that seeing new people come along and "get it" very rewarding and a pool of strength and hope .

I sometimes come at issues a bit sideways and i know this perspective works for some people, they have found it of service so i keep on .

You keep on too my friend ,

regards , m

Thank you all so much & for the pm's I have taken notes thank you

I just wrote a humongous message & lost it but will make this quick

No one has offended me this time away will be spent working on my sobriety & spirituality intensly focusing on meditation patience grace mercy and mindfulness

I am ok and want you all to know that in the next 3-12 months I plan on being a better Soberwolf for myself & others

This time can be considered selfish as I'm dedicating it to myself but in recovery at this time my soul is telling me to do this I think I've felt bad for a while about this but deep down I know it's the right thing to do at this stage in my recovery

If for whatever reason something happens I will post instantly & let you guys know I'm not ok but I am ok and plan on improving that more

Sorry if I don't reply to the pm's just know I saw them & appreciated them dealy

PK you & Fly can choose my team's for the rest of the season just as long as it involves Bears Jets & Dolphins

I am finishing the wisdom of insecurity & plan on reading biocentrism next then some Carl Jung my first book by him in fact

Love to you all & see you in the next 3-12 months

I was just wondering where you were hiding.
I understand the need to take a break and focus on yourself.
Take good care of yourself my friend and see you soon

I guess we all get caught up in life and
recovery and sometimes forget for a
moment, month, few days or so about
folks. Just like for me at this moment.

For some reason soberwolf popped in
head and thought to myself that, 'you
know, I haven't seen him in awhile'.

Hmmmmm why is that?

So I went to my profile to find soberwolf
and see when he last posted. This is the post
I found and am glad to know that after
reading it, that he is okay and just stepping
back for awhile to work on his own recovery
life.

I know I have had to step back from posting
at times just to gather my own thoughts and
come back refreshed. It has been taught to me that
too much of anything isn't good, and even tho
there is no such thing as too much recovery
in order to remain sober, we still need a break
from the same routine and learn something
new to better and strengthen ourselves so we
can remain healthy and happy.

Anyway....

I'm glad soberwolf is near in SR sober
cyberspace and will know that we
are still here for him and in our thought
and prayers.
