Congrats on 500. I'm shopping for your cane, aren't you nearing your 1st birthday too? I have loved your posts from my first day here. I appreciate your sincerity and clarity, especially. -Angela
Sincere humility and gratitude to MIP, and to our HP too. Ditto on those words as well.
But I have a suggestion, if you are going to start using that cane Angela is sending, personally I think it would be more fitting to hold off on using your Oldtimer cane, until October l, 2009. only AFTER your anniversary day.
Thank you, Mark for all that you give here. Your genuine heart & concern reaches all over this board & touches so many of us, that's plain to see. You work this program with alot of guts & gusto & I am deeply proud & impressed by you. I love your sobriety, Mark. I can see part of why you want this program so much so that you can help others with it also & that's a true oldtimer 12th stepper in the making from what I can see! Keep flying your flag & following your God. He is loving & doing you proud. Thank you for your service. Keep coming back. I love watching your spirit awakening. Hi5 your sponsor for me too ;) Godblessings, Danielle xx

Thanks guys and gals. The responses are truly kind and appreciated much and they come at a time where I really needed to hear it. Lots of what I am perceiving to be changes in my life and over analyzed thinking has got me in one of my poopy depressed modes. Thankfully, these only last a few days now before I get so tired of living in miserable poor me thoughts that the light starts shining back in, so hopefully it'll pass soon. Love you guys :) I do know not to drink even when I'm feeling crappy cuz that will make me both depressed and drunk...did that one for way way WAY too long.
Mark
