Wow! Over four years ago this forum saved my life.

Hi everybody! So much has changed over the past four years. This past year especially.

New home, an abundance of friends andI have become deeply involved in dog rescue. (I started with fish rescue..a story of its own).

For those of you who remember, I quit drinking the night I joined here. Of course, it was after much support and debate.

Of course life has dealt me ups and downs. Great joys and deep sorrows.

Thank you to everyone's support and to those who introduced me to AVRT.

Love to all.

Hi Received, congratulations on 4 years!

What a great thing to do with the dog rescue, such a deserving cause.

Life does have its ups and downs but remaining sober throughout helps us deal with it!

I'm so happy for you.

Congrats on four years sober! I like that you're doing dog rescue. Like Mklove, both my dogs were rescues.

There's a special place in heaven for those who help animals.

Wow indeed, Received! Congratulations on over four years, that's a massively humongous achievement. 🏆 🎂 .

SR and its members saved my life too, by guiding and encouraging me to apply AVRT and make a Big Plan.

What a shining light you are, Received, thank you for posting. ❤️

I am involved with all breeds; more commonly mixed breeds. However, all breeds are equal in my eyes.
