I am grateful for the LOVE I've seen shown to so many community members, and the CAMARADERIE shared by everyone here.
I rarely post but I think of so many of you in my day to day life, never having interacted, but seeing glimpses into your lives, you've become so important to me. I'm kinda crying as I type this, but dear DOG I will miss all of you when this ends.
I've lurked here since TWOP ended which I think was just about ten years ago? I had just moved from Rhode Island to Georgia and felt like I was losing friends with that shutdown. It took time to adjust, but I was thrilled to follow again here ever since, and recognize posters and embrace new-to-me folks and read their thoughts, opinions and stories.
And now it might all be lost again. I hope so much that we're all able to find each other somewhere else - maybe I'd even post with some regularity in that hypothetical place.
I wish peace for all you ... and if nothing else, please know that you touched so many lives, especially my own, especially when I was lonely in addiction and then recovery.
Thank you friends.
