Also....I so agree....there is no other sobriety site like this one.
I am so grateful I found my home 7 years ago. :hug: s

Laughter is definitely a compliment. 🤣🤣

It's ok Dee. :hug: I can't fault you for your mistakes cause I make plenty of them myself. :hug:

Anna 12-28-2020 03:34 PM

Dee, you have done SO much for all our members over the years. The oops today pales in comparison to all the good that you have done. (((Dee))) We all love you so much. :)

I found it interesting reading member comments about how they thought they might have been banned. I know that I had a couple of similar experiences here in the early years and I understand how you can immediately go to blaming yourself. But, I hope that everyone can use this as a learning experience to remember to not automatically assume you are at fault if something goes wrong. Be kind to yourselves. I can't say that often enough.

And, please know that we never, out of the blue with no notice, ban anyone. That doesn't happen. We will always communicate with you and banning is always a last resort.

Wonderful advice Anna. Ive not crossed paths with you directly on this site but your another SR treasure in my books

:dee

I just wanted to say how much we love you Dee and Anna and what kind people you are.

Thanks for all you do.

Thankfully I still have that backup site in a spot where I can find it, and to see Dee, Venus, and MorningGlory had all posted in there was comforting to me at o'dark thirty this morning when I found SR missing in action. I knew all was well.

I checked some other sites. But none are as good as SR. So lucky to be here among such great folk.

So it wasn't just me having the thought that I had been banned lol good to know..

Grateful for you Dee and all you do for us here :hug:

Just want to echo the other sentiments, Dee.

You are a treasure!

anxiousrock 12-28-2020 06:31 PM

Oh Dee, we all make mistakes. No need to apologize for something like this, not intentional!

I thought it was my password to be honest.
I also said to myself "We are all going to be okay"

You are a gem, Dee. You learned something technical that a lot of us know nothing about. That is really cool in my book.

Onward and Upward! Thank You for all that you do. I appreciate you.

Delilah1 12-28-2020 08:13 PM

I am another’s one who I still so grateful for you Dee. I of course thought it was my error at first, after a few tries figured the site was down, and I missed checking in! That is definitely the bright side to not being able to log in last night, many of us missed our daily check in, it shows how valuable this group is.

Thanks for all you do Dee!!

❤️Delilah

Love you Dee. :hug: s ❤️

^^^This!! :grouphug:

Yep Venus, that was my experience. I really felt a void as I tried over and over again to get in.

Don’t sweat it Dee, like VC said, there is a little silver lining.

It made me realize - again - how important this community is to me. :grouphug: Makes me appreciated it all the more. :hug:

brighterday1234 12-28-2020 09:21 PM

No worries! 🙏

MythOfSisyphus 12-28-2020 09:58 PM

Luckily it wasn't down long, and I now bookmarked the backup!:scoregood

Kaily 12-28-2020 10:14 PM

:a102::261: Ha ha only kidding.

It was a good reminder of what is important to us and to never take anything for granted.

:hug: Dee.

Thanks for all the love guys. :grouphug:
It reminds me how lucky and privileged I am to be a part of the community here :)
