Hey @Tomek -
I know you made the decision to go, and that you haven’t been gone long, but you are missed here - your posts, your piano playing, and the pics of the little figures you made. You’re always welcome to come back. Whether you do or do not, I wish you well - health and happiness and wellness in abundance.

@050Nl where you been? I miss you and Nala very much. Praying all went well with that complaint about Nala while you were away.

Thank you, Emm, for your always kind words, it means a lot to me really. I will be back soon, because I struggle a lot recently. On the other hand I needed this break. I hope you’re doing well! I miss you all, guys!

I’m always thinking of him, it’s probably not healthy

@Beardy I hope you’ll be good. Well, I know you’ll be good because you are already a good person and you keep choosing to be a better version of yourself. But I guess I wish you well. I hope everything will be fine with the little family. I also hope you keep those runnings up to your standards and more. Take care and reach out whenever you need it. It’s been a pleasure.

Acceptance and boundaries are the 2 topics that keep coming up at my AA meetings. Those with many years of sobriety can always relate on some level. I’ve come to the conclusion that these will always be an issue from time to time in most of our lives. As long as we keep using our tools, we’ll get through these rough patches. Sounds like you are doing everything you should be.

Hi Eric, thank you for thinking of me and for looking out for me and so many other members on here! 
hope you’re doing well, too!
I’m ok, still sober, just passed 5 months a couple of days ago, yay! I didn’t really check in much because there is so much life stuff happening for me right now: I will be moving back to Vienna after having lived in Germany for almost 11 years in a matter of weeks now. There’s a lot of planning and organizing, but I’m also really restless and emotional. I’m feeling very confident about my sobriety, but I’m afraid of explaining myself to people back home. Last time they saw me, I could drink my 2m tall brother under the table 
I have changed so much and so have my priorities - I no longer crave beer, but inner peace and it will take my family and friends by surprise. I tend to internalize everything and never tell anyone about my struggles, so that’s the biggest hurdle I have yet to take.
It’s wonderful to be able to come back here, I will make a point of checking in and getting to read about about how all of you are doing

So great to hear you are doing well and I reckon it sounds like life is treating you good. Or more importantly you are treating life good. Good luck with your move. I hope it goes smoothly.
And to your 5 months

Yes, she left. We keep in touch a bit. I so admire her strength.

Me as well. Her and Angie and some of the older group, now long gone.

Two of my favourite characters from the past - I guess Angie’s still not allowed back?

No, she is not.
She was my first sober friend here. I’ve actually met her in person and she is a beautiful soul. I do miss her. We chat occasionally via text, but it’s not the same.
