"felt like Donald Trump all over the front pages" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

[VICourageous]

OH MY!!!!

I was out & about yesterday and I did see this last night! To tell you the truth, I was a bit Embarrassed because I felt like Donald Trump all over the Front Pages.LOL

However, these types of Post are what keeps us going. Look at the Love & Support that comes from one of these. I would not know much, if it was not for ALL of you and all your experience you share out here. I am VERY Teachable as CIK mentioned. The more I learn the Stronger I get.
I want to THANK each and everyone of you who has helped me to get this far!

Thanks Gnarly for the post, I was not expecting it.

Anybody who takes that First Step into even a hour has something to be proud of. Just keep going and do what you got to do for Support.
In early Recovery it is so nice for one to post there Time, as it gives you more Strength to continue on by the Support you will get from here.
We like these successful post. One Day at A Time!

Do not be Shy put your Time out here. It is Something to be Proud of as You grow.

Bless U All
Vickie

Congratulations Vickie!  You're such a wonderful and positive person.   I hope you find a nice way to celebrate this milestone!

Two precious momentous anniversaries in one week!!!  30 years of marriage to your best friend and 3 years clean and sober!!!
SHOUT OUT!!!!!  BRING DOWN THE HOUSE!!!!!!

The day you first posted here, I was drawn to you.  I suppose you'll always be "vvic from Idaho" to me...and Mooselips (LOL)....but without a doubt, God knew something none of us could have ever known....that the name you and Annie came up with,"ViCourageous", was one you would live up to!

The COURAGE it took to lose White Face, Your Mama, Your Dad, Phil, and others too.....in such a VERY short space in time (months)....and to have a heart health issue/surgery that scared the poop outta ya....and to STAY clean and sober through it all......EARNS you that name "ViCourageous"!!!!  

The thing about you, Vic, is that you remained "teachable".  And you were ALWAYS open-minded and willing to do whatever it took (and you STILL are).  I LOVE your sweet heart......and I LOVE YOU♥♥

Here's to many more days ahead....Happy 3 Yr Birthday Babe♫
