Who's your MedHelp Hero?

[GA Guy]

I've been a member here for probably a year and a half. Yes, I've done the withdrawal/relapse thing so many times it's crazy. Every time I come back, I'm reminded of friends who've gone their on way, and some of my friends who are still hanging around. I just wanted to honor a few people that have helped me be here, right now, clean. R2R and avisg...congrats on 500 days. You're remarkable women who make this a better place. Naughty, you'll have those 500 days very soon. I know you already know how proud I am of you. Marcatj, you've been so much help to me. You know I'd do anything for you, dear. Liscamdave, you've been through a lifetime of hurt..and, you deserve a lifetime of happiness. Bear, you've had a year nobody should have to go through. May God bless you and your family. And, to my heroes that I miss dearly. Two of the first people that reached out to me on this forum, IBKleen and SteveL. I still think about you both often. Fishmeal, I miss your posts. Beachtowel...for whatever reason I liked you. You never pulled punches. And, lastly...to who I call the first lady of this forum...FlAddict. All I can say is that for those who didn't know her, you'll never know what a wonderful lady you've missed knowing. I hope all these people are finding some peace and love in their lives. They're just a few of my heroes on this forum. Now, who are yours?

Anyone that takes their own time and uses their personal experiences in an attempt to lesson someone elses problem is, by all definitions of mine, a hero. Just about every regular member of med help qualifies for that one...... It is a tremendous community that draws on huge amounts of life experience to answer questions concerning addiction (its not just we addicts that have a problem with it....ripple effect, you know...) - - - and I am sorry to say that the need for this type of education is only going to increase. In the 2 years that I have watched - the posts have increased to the point of several new posts per hour. Most of us have probably felt helpless at least once during our active phases....it is a grim statistic if you look at percentages of successful completion of a detox plan. But a newcomer speaking with people that have been there, done that, and survived has a ray of hope that had been missing before. And if they come back and get to know the community even more, they find a great group that will help them land in that group that can call themselves "recovering addicts"  ......... a fine bunch of people.
