I just wanted to say a very big 'Thank You' to you for all of the support that has been given to me over the last few days. It has meant such a great deal to me. I will never be able to express just how much it has meant. I have said for a while that I am glad that I'm an alcoholic, but it has been underscored to me. This board and my friends in AA are simply wonderful and I would have been lost without you all.
And, I would like to give Toni a very big Thank You. Toni, you have been utterly terrific and I appreciate it more than you can know. You have been so kind to me. I'll never forget it.
Anyway, things are starting to look up a little again and that feels really good from here.
My Higher Power has been with me over the last few days and my old urge to drink on any reason has left me. I can say, that despite all of my hurt and upset, the thought of drinking never seriously entered my mind.
So, once again, Thank You. You are all marvellous people. Have a super and sober day.
(((Hugs)))
Carol

So happy to hear you feeling better, and when we get into Recovery, it never ceases to amaze me, that we are just friends, doing what friends do. Sure don't remember any of that stuff when I was drinking, my only, and really only friend in the world to me was a bottle of Brandy, and even that had its conditions, it had to be "not empty".
So Grateful to be free of that friggen Disease in this little 24 hour a day program. Just for today, went to a wonderful meeting at noon, armed myself with the knowledge that in this day, this Sober day, I am humbled and so grateful to just be a simple Alcoholic in Recovery.
And Justin, you mentioned how great it was to have me back, and it made me laugh, cause what I was really doing, was just leaving the room, as in to not Burp in a Crowd. (Smile)
