Since I’ve joined this forum there have been several people that have impacted me greatly with their kind words, stories, triumphs, struggles, and even just their activity on here. As I SLOWLY climb out of this stupid fragmented only half plugged in presence, I’m beginning to remember stories, names, situations, and sobriety milestones beyond myself and have noticed that when someone goes missing from the forum for a little while its either because they are doing really good or on the opposite end of the spectrum.
I thought we could use this thread to tag some of those whom we’ve come to appreciate and let them know that their presence is missed.
@Success I know you’ve been traveling, but I also know your back… so vacation over, come back and share your positive words of worldly wisdom and all those ‘lols’.
@Shelbyeriss Missing your enthusiasm and appreciative spirit on here! Your kind sincerity is missed.
@TheRealLife Miss your creativity and perspective!
@Nate_Harbison Where’ve you been bro?! I miss your writing and following your inspiring journey!
@Hailey Where’d you go girl?! Miss that beautiful face and the internal beauty that shines through it.
@rabbit What hole did you fall down? Hop back to the forum, your missed!
We are all valuable tools in each others sobriety tool chest and when a tool goes missing, we are all a little less refined.
There are a few people I haven’t seen around for a bit, but I don’t want to harass people by private message in case they just want some breathing space.
Aww @Zara and @Naturehippy!! Y’all are awesome! I also have drawn inspiration and encouragement from both of you! This forum was a godsend and while I haven’t been active lately, I haven’t forgotten about all of the lovely souls here who have impacted my journey in ways that I am forever grateful for!! 83 days strong because of all of you
I am here, but unfortunately things have not gone well since January. I had more sober days in January than all of 2016, and then Iost all control. Every morning I have the intention not to drink, but when the evening comes, I say I will just have a little, and a little turns into a lot. Ugh I am SO sick of it. I feel so tired. I really need to give my body a break.
Thank you @Melrm for mentioning me. I celebrated a year sober 3/8/17. I work in a rehab and was recently accepted in graduate school. My life has never been better.
I try not to visit this app too often because I prefer to attend in person meetings. My sobriety has become more about seeking God and less about simply staying abstinent. I hope all is well with you!
