FOR DOMINOSARA.. I HOPE I DON'T OFFEND YOU

[witsend0603]

I was looking through some of sara's oldest posts and came across this one.  She has been such an inspiration to me and I thought I would encourage myself by seeing how her journey started ... Sara.. I hope this doesn't offend you but I wanted to copy and paste in your own words:

just a note of thanks

Today is day 6!!!!! I feel better today. I just wanted to say thank you for everyone who pours their heart and soul into this forum. Hopefully in time it will be me to give back what you all have been giving. I have a long road ahead of me but with all of you it will be easier.

Notice the "Hopefully in time it will be me to give back what you all have been giving."  

Well, Sara, you have fullfilled that hope for yourself and so many others here... JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A BIG HUG AND A BIG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUCH LOVE

Thanks Sara for all you do here on MH for both the newcomers and the old timers.  I have been off and on here since April 09 and cant think of any time that you havent been right here giving encouragement, guidance and occasionally the tough love we all sometimes need.  Congrats on your clean time and service here.  guv

sara is a rock!  and she rox!
I am one who looks Above for guidance...basing my life on sumpin here on earth is not eternal...basing my life's foundation on things that can be taken away at any moment is not a firm  foundation for me....Call me crazy but I choose the neverending//the evrlasing///i feel if my foundation is there//it can not be ripped out from under me
sara deserves tons of congrats///she is a forum camper//always here//maybe late at night like me///but hey//she sho does a good job!

[dominosarah]

And you will always hold a special place in mine~~~~~~~sara

Sara has been my rock thru my ordeal also.  She is always there when I need here and I'll never forget her.  She will always have a part of my heart for the rest of my life.

Of course he was actually on the subject of Christianity and what we do for God ... but it applies to our situation also...

[dominosarah]

He is exactly right with that comment.  Our recovery will be life long and we will always be a work in progress..........

[witsend0603]

I don't know if you are a religious person.. so again I don't want to offend .. but my pastor said something one time several years ago that has never left me and I have been thinking it alot today  "If we ever become satisfied, that's when we really have a problem"  ... just a thought

What a wonderful reminder of the distance you have come and remain.You are a superb example to all of us here on the forum.
Thanks for remaining and helping us all along with your experience and knowledge.

[dominosarah]

I have my moments.....I also struggle at times too and that is why we are so persistant about mentioning aftercare.  I always remember where i came from.  The minute i think i am above this i will stir the beast and that wont be a good thing........

[witsend0603]

I was just curious.. since you seem to be such a ROCK and as solid as can be... so it took me a looonnnngggg time...lol... I mean you got like 8800+ posts on there...lol... but I was persistant... I wanted to see how "THE ROCK" got started out... lol... but anyway it really inspired me cause I see how strong you are now as compared to what your frame of mind was then... I think that will be my new nickname for you  "THE ROCK"... LMAO..... thanks again sara for all you do

[dominosarah]

You remember those days when i first came on dont you AND many other "moments"!!!!

[dominosarah]

WOW, a blast from the past!!!  You didnt offend me at all, Thank you for letting me be a part of your recovery.......One day at a time is the way i live.  I work my program on a daily basis.  I guard my clean time with my life as it is sacred to me~~~~~sara
