Meant every word. I stand in awe of your ability to push past your comfort zones. There’s so much I can point to since I’ve returned. But you know what I’m talking about.

It made me tear up reading this, really kind of you to say. We forget, sometimes, how much work we are putting in. Thanks for the validation.

Thanks for thinking of me Badger 
I’ve been a bit absent the last month as I had a relapse regarding streaming services. But now all 4 of my subscriptions have ended so I’m back in the human realm. And I’ve started working full-time which also lessens my available time

You’re welcome I truly believe laughter can save you from a multitude of things in this crazy life, so I do my best!
So glad I’ve gotten the chance to “meet” you, to meet all of you. All of us struggling and fighting these addictions, all so different, yet so very much the same.
It’s nice feeling a little less lonely, a little more understood. 
“Nothing is more important than empathy for another human being’s suffering. Nothing. Not career, not wealth, not intelligence, certainly not status. We have to feel for one another if we’re going to survive with dignity.”

This is such a valuable thread, it’s great to show gratitude to our fellow members who have gone above and beyond. We have a Shout Outs thread that moderators will merge this thread with so that we can keep the forum tidy and keep that string of gratitude going! It’s been a big part of this community for a long time. Thank you @Looking4Support James for thinking to post this.

Dang, this thread is like the TS hall of fame! Lotta sober giants mentioned here. I wonder how the ones that are no longer active here are doing? I have stayed in contact with my Class of Q3 2018 and many are doing very well!

Looks like much hasn’t changed in 5 years 
. Can’t imagine I had much to offer at 9 months sober, especially since my first year was a dumpster fire.
