Vicki, my friend,.congratulations!!!  You have been my guardian angel.  You have been there for me every step of the way.  I remember when I first found this forum.  I was so convinced I was an addict even though I never exhibited any behaviors of an addict.  I was so deternined to get off all my meds and I wound up sick and hospitalizsd.
  
Thanks for all you do for me and so many others.  I love you my friend.

Vicki- you know how I feel about you, and how important our friendship is to me.  I too agree with the others - the no BS approach was exactly what this place needed (well, it's what I needed!) and for that, I will always be grateful.  You are a very special woman, never EVER forget that.  You have been a huge inspiration to me for a long time, and I don't know if I'll ever really be able to thank you for that, but I will continue to try!

I hope you are doing something pretty great this weekend.  :)

You have been such a strength to this board.  I always read your posts as I was trying to weave my way through detox and sanity!  I am grateful to have had you pave the way for us.  Thanks for your humor and take no prisoners attitude here.

Wow!!!! Is all I can say! Congrats on that awesome awesome accomplishment !!!!

[dominosarah]

Ahhh Vicki...Seems like yesterday you came on the forum.  You didnt want to hear a thing we said as you were bound and determined to do it your way.  I remember sitting here and making comments out loud to myself cuz i sure as heck couldnt write them!!!  lol  You've come along way over the years and i am really very grateful you are part of my recovery.  We have had many talks, some very personal and painful and many laughs, all the while securing our place in you know where!!!

Congrats on those 4 yrs my friend~

Kyle, i echo what you said, man when i went back and read my posts, i was so pathetic, i was a bumbling fool and so sensitive i felt under attack..LOL  Vicki was such a hard a$$ to me, and hit a nerve many times, BUT, how i am so thankful she never gave up on me!!!!  

VIcki come out and play we want to celebrate!!!!!!

[kyle505]

This will be a very selfish post...You and a couple others were there for me over two years ago. You gave me support, but most importantly, you told me to stop feeling sorry for myself and get up and move. I've gone back and re-read my posts during detox hell and boy - was I a cry baby. Don't know how you put up with it, but glad you did.
Many congrats to someone who made an undefinable difference in my life. From everyone in my family - thank you.

[VICourageous]

Wow Vicki, I too am SO darn proud of you.
I will NEVER forget how you helped me in one of my Bad times and I had no clue what was going on. I remember it well because we were PMing at night and then we got the Bombing news from Boston. From there on out I never miss a word you say on here in all the posting. lol
Bless and have a Great Day..Go out for a very nice Dinner with some Candles. Make this a Romantic night.
Vickie

Your example has been one that helped change my life forever. Thanks for everything, I'll never forget you.

[clean_in_ks]

Summer of 2012....I "bing'd" something with my muddled mind about recovery and hydros and ended up on MedHelp......had NO IDEA what I was doing.....but you and Kyle were the first 2 people to respond to me.
(well, on second thought, a gal from Australia and one from Spain were the first but it WAS the middle of the night for me and in their time zones it was daytime...LOL)
So YOU and Kyle were the first 2 Americans......hahahaha!

You two were joking back and forth about something you were each watching on SNL.....and just to show you how FOGGED my head was I actually asked you what "SNL" stood for????  You neither one laughed at me nor put me down....you just calmly typed, "Saturday Night Live"....
You didn't even add (Yeah STUPID!!!)  Hahahaha!

You've hung around to help the addict that still suffers, Vicki, and you're my go-to girl when Fioricet threads appear.  I appreciate all you invest in MH and for being such a shining presence in my early months around here.

Hope you are treated EXTRA special tonight....and that you can bathe in some sort of luxury that delights your heart.

Thank you for all you do and all you are.....sniff, sniff....do I smell some lobster M & C baking???????  Oh no....that's just wishful thinking.....LOL

Love abounds to you.....4 YEARS IS HUGELY WONDERFUL!!!!

Congratulations! 10,623 quality posts and still going strong! That's ~ 7.3 posts per day over a four year stretch. They aught to give you more than five stars once you get over 10K posts. Maybe six diamonds? What are your keys to staying clean long term (past the one-year mark)?
