Thank you all so much.
This time last year I was a mess. No home, no job and I couldn't see a way out. I wanted to be gone, but with the help of so many here, my doctor and some good, old-fashioned determination I'm clean and I have a future.
I'm loaded with the cold this morning, just in time to start back at work, but I'm smiling.
Thanks again
