[worried878]

many who posted looking for eagle are long timers here and giz cos they r both an intricate part of our goup..along with avisg, cathy, traycee, giz, naughty, greebs, newmgt, gtm(i miss him) hopsing was but may be off in sub land but no reason to stop as subbers welcome here and plenty need their advice,,.flmagi, dominosara.ochooked, eagle my hero, kim715, jenzinrecovery, IBKlean was a big force here when i signed on/blunt but on target and i respect what i learned from her..mandapanda, gtm...refusing bondage, meg shows up from time to time and greebs should show up more but she is now...10356, lady 67, penelope when a methadone user needs help..on the spot she is! and so is kim....
when i quit i had laurenzoo/never here again/hope she is ok...scaredofmyvikes/disapeared..gustaria who stays clean and will post from time to time...lukey?  ladyboops? old posters we here no more from..i hope they r well..i could go on and on about people i linked with that r gone somewhere

it takes really in essence a small group to keep this forum productive otherwise it would turn to poop   those posters should feel proud to stay and help as most get clean.//relapse or whatver and never back to share

My love goes out to all of you..we are special people tocontinue to help...theforum would be nothingwithout old timers..love al u guys..and giz stand up to ur place that is always reserved for u..u r part of us..call us lost, call us determined..call us gladiators......but i love the people who stay
...u bring me peace

we should all make a trip to new orleans for mardigras to eet one another

This was a great post.  It does become a mission to a point but it also feels good to give back to people what i was given and still get from everyone.  I have to mention Crispy also.  He isnt on much anymore but he was so encouraging to me in the early days of my wd's.         sara

Great post and some great answers ---- I too stayed to help after getting clean.  I just never want to forget where I was when I first came to this site ---  My first question was to ask how to find a Rapid Detox ----- Like almost all of us, I wanted to find a painless way to getting off of Oxy.  I quickly realized, thanks to the folks on here, that Rapid detox was a myth.  So, I went the Sub route ---  I do wish there had been more people posting about Sub so I would have made a better decision -- but, I stuck with a 21 day program and although I think Sub is a drug from He!!, I am now clean and have no cravings.   So, I just want to be an encouragement to those who have a desire to be clean but don't know if they can endure the process.  Hey, thanks to all of you guys - especially the 'regulars'.  All the best.

I LOVE this post worried, I was so proud to be included :) I definitely feel like I stay here to continue to help others and for sure get help for myself!!! I know I'll be in continued need of help for years to come, lol...its the truth! I miss some of the others that have come and gone..hopefully they'll come back! I know Giz will come back, just needs time. And as for myself, I need to get off Myspace and spend more time here. lol :) I think it was Cathy who wrote about how they felt when someone quit, and they were helping them by writing, and then the person got to one week, two weeks, a month etc. It is THE best feeling to know you've helped another person! You all helped me so much, I was a wreck when I showed up here 5 months ago..91 days now! :) Much love -Panda

I haven't been here long, but I would just like to say THANK YOU to all the regulars on this board that were so willing to reach out to me from the start. I don't feel like I have been judged at all on this forum and being that I am a pregnant addict that is pretty amazing. All of you have helped me thorugh my own personal hell and even though I feel that I am on my way up I would like to continue posting not only to keep myself on track, but to hopefully help others in any way I can offer myself. You all are an inspiration!

For me this forum reminds me of a quote from Abraham Lincoln -   To ease another's heartache is to forget one's own. Think about it...It is so true.

Don't feel hurt sweetie, please. We are here for you and we are here to help. If anything, some people tend to gravitate to others. I have seen hundreds of people come and go in the past 2 years, and the fact that some people form groups of friends is inevitable. Some have been more help to others and others have not. I think what worried meant, was that she is thankful for the friends she has here, and that she is thankful that these people have stuck with the forum. As I said, I have seen so many come and go. I always try to welcome anyone new to the forum. ANd if there are people i don't know, I try to introduce myself and/or help them in any way I can. I have made so many life long and dear friends, and some of them are gone now and I probably will never hear from them again, and I miss them and truly wish I knew how they were. So I think she was just praising some people for sticking with the forum and continuing to help others.

I will say this, no matter how many times you post a general thank you to many of your own personal close forum friends, you are bound to leave names out. Its not an attack or to single anyone out or to foget anyone, it just happens as there are so many of us on this forum, you make so many friends its hard to keep track...

Don't feel upset and don't cry. If you need to talk, Im here....
