7 Months Clean...

I really can't believe that it's been seven months. I can't put in to words how my life has changed; all I can say is that there is a very bright light at the end of the tunnel. Once the fog lifts you have to squint sometimes just to see.
Anyway, I was thinking about all the pithy things to say on this post but decided that thank yous are enough. So, thanks to everyone for helping me along the way. I still struggle, as most of us do, and constantly find support and wisdom in your posts. Some break my heart; some make me want to reach out and shake the person posting; but in most I see myself and try to prevent the person from making the mistakes I did.
Anyway, thank you, thank you.

You guys really are wonderful. I am, for once, at a loss for words. But I'm sure that sooner or later a post will pop up that draws me to the keyboard.
My wife has an autoimmune disease; about two years ago she found a web forum about her disease and began posting on a regular basis. I questioned her about how her cyber friends could really help, provide support, blah, blah.
So - she gets great joy in her many I told you so moments whenever she sees me on this forum.  
This place is very important to me. Thanks again.

You have been an amazing help to me!
Always Honest and always willing to take the time to support so many!
My favorite post was this a KYLE QUOTE!

"you will still have a bad day every once in a while, but for me at least, a bad day clean was soooo much better than any good day using. "

Thank You :)

You will get here before you know it. I posted once that when I made two months clean I told my wife - she replied something like "Already? Boy, that went fast." I just stared at her and then we both started laughing because, as you well know, it doesn't always go fast. But looking back it's hard to imagine seven months. I look forward to that post from you.
