Two Years Clean!

[kyle505]

Today is the big day - two years ago I stopped ct, walked in to a hellish detox and came out a clean and sober person. It's hard to believe that I've been here for two years; time does fly when you're having, uh, fun.
I could go on and on - to those I've upset, I certainly didn't mean to. I see red flags and have to react. I really don't want you going through the things I did, although deep down that you'll probably have to anyway.
To those who've supported me along the way - what can I say? I owe you big time. There are a few that were here two years ago who encouraged me, held my hand, patted me on the back - and kicked me in the butt as needed (and in the beginning it was very necessary, and often).
Reading the posts of new or newer people I see so much of me in the words. And I can only hope that they will stick around long enough to learn all that is being offered. There is so much knowledge and experience here, and it's free!
Thank you to my MH family. I could go on and on but I won't. The best way to thank you, really, is to continue living clean. And I plan to do exactly that.

Congratulations Kyle on two years that is AWESOME! I value what you say so much! Lately I have a hard time finding what I want to say to others but you always come thru and say what I wish I had the balls to say. Lol I am thankful that when I first came on here you were posting on others threads because your words resonated with me. Nothing will change if you don't change it and now I am proud to say I am 107 days clean! Thank you again we are blessed to have you here!

OUTSTANDING KYLE!! I want to wish you a Happy, happy well-earned two years. I'm grateful for all you do here & want you to know that you've been an inspiration to me throughout the months. Your posts cut to the chase & ring with your truth. You should be so proud today. Your post above is beautiful & I'm so very glad that folks here have taken the care & time to tell you you're much appreciated. ;-)

You guys have made me tear up; I had no idea that words could mean so much. And Atthebeach and littlebit - yeah, it's been a long time. Glad that you two are also still at it. A difficult struggle sometimes, but it is so worth it.
Bears - 135 days is awesome. You'll get to the year mark before you know it.
Meegan et al, again, there really are no words. Even if we were face to face, I wouldn't know what to say.
Everyone on this site has helped me. And I mean everyone. So many thanks.

You are truly amazing my friend! I love to follow your posts, to the point and no BS! I truly needed that in the beginning and I know those who get a fended will also realize this when they are further along in their detox! Man you know what needs to be done and just because you do not sugar coat it you cut right to the point of what needs to be done! I know that in the beginning of my detox there were days I felt I could not go on and it was your strong words and that of a few others that got me right back on track! I am very thankful and owe you my friend! You truly helped me get my life back! 135 days and still going!
Congratulations on your 2 years and many more to come!
