SAH,

You are a delight and that post was so thoughtful. Perfect. You will do a lot for so many with hose words, including me.

Sixth was so right, you got it.

Thanks for all you do here.

“It isn’t nearly as big of a loss as I thought it would be.”

Truer words have rarely been spoken here! I also love what you say about accomplishment. To me that’s the whole point of sobriety, to move forward.

Thanks for your post!

No Sober, it's not overly gratuitous. It's simply true. Think about it.
Please.

You read about people who overcome some personal issue in their life and then go on to accomplish some great feat in another area of their life. That happens because overcoming that huge personal obstacle proves to them that they can overcome any other obstacle that is placed in their way and also provides them with the skills to do so. That’s you and me and everyone on this board!
You nailed it. I have said this exact thing many times. I don't think people believe me when I say it...unless they are sober addicts.
