I just wanted to say how much I think it is really great the way you two go out of your way to help people out on these forums free of charge. If there were more people like you guys, the world would definitely be a better place. Thanks to both of you!

Hi Shybaby
Thank you, that was a very nice thing for you to say...
how are you doing.. I know it has been a little while now that you have been clean !!
I can remember when I found this forum I was one very scared girl..
this place gave me the strength to get thru my W/D and get on with my life.
but sometimes I think I need this place just as much as everyone else.
I just cant stand it when I see someone on here like I was the night I found the forum...
I never want to feel like that again in my life...
so thanks again shy, let me know how your feeling ???
talk soon, Melinda

Thanks for the kind words guys! It makes me feel good to know if I helped a family change for the better. Then everyone they encounter each day has a better life too, it just continues to snowball.

We have lots of good people on the forum who are selfless in the way they help people. Thanks to everyone who really helps with changing people's lives for the better. God bless.

Dear Melinda and Robert,

I've been lurking on these boards since September and want to add my voice to those that have called you out for your good works here. Besides the people who are actually posting there are probably hundreds if not thousands that read your words and get the help they need anonymously (like me, prior to this post). I'm amazed by how much time and effort you put into this...and your ability to remain objective, on message, and avoid getting dragged into any controversy or personal issues. You've inspired me to take the next step in my recovery from many years of addiction and get off the subs. I finally stopped drinking and smoking in October and as the fog has lifted I have cut my Suboxone dose to apprx .3-.4 every 12-14 hours. Like many others I started at 16 mg. per day last February and have steadily reduced over that time. If I had discovered these boards in February I would probably be clean already.

I plan to take 10 days away from home in mid January to kick, and will start my own thread to chronicle my experience with the hope that I can help others the way I have been helped. I hope to hear from you then, without adding too much to your workload...since I have already benefitted so much by reading your posts to others. I have nothing but love and respect for you.
