Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

Waves to the whole gang!

Ginger got ahold of me on FB Messenger yesterday mentioning that her MWO donation didn't come out of her PayPal account and wondered if I knew anything about it. When I logged in this morning I see a message from the Forum Manager that the site is shutting down at the end of the month. It's really too bad as MWO has been such an important factor in my continuing sobriety.

For those of you who want to carry on with the friendships you've made here, please come and join the site I created.

https://www.wqd.boards.net

Hopefully that link will work. There are some members there from the WQD site that shut down a while back, so there'll be some new faces and friendships for everyone! I hope all of you will consider moving over so that we can continue staying friends!

This site shutting down is truly an end of an era for me. I remember finding the site in 2014 and thinking it might help. By then I'd had so many stop and starts, I thought it would never end. But it did and I thank all of you for helping me get where I am today. I hope all of you join us over at ABC other site. I'd hate to Iose touch with any of you!

Peachie, I'm sending you my personal info via private message. You can share yours back, if you're comfortable with that. Absolutely no pressure, if you aren't comfortable and want to maintain your anonymity.

Jude, that's awesome news about your finger! Did the doc think your finger's shape would return?

Hi Dill, ABC and Rava! See you over on the other site! I'll take another!

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry to hear MWO is shutting down, but I can believe it. It's just a handful of us left posting now. The place was magic when I found it in 2009. I think I was much farther gone than I even admitted to myself at the time. The thought of going just 24 hours was absolutely frightening to me. I learned so much here from members past, and present as well. I owe a debt of gratitude to Roberta Jewel and to many members of this forum.

I joined Cowboy's crew over at We Quit Drinking and post there regularly. (Thank you, Cowboy!) I encourage everyone here to sign up so we can continue to support each other. Maybe Jod will join us over there, too!

Jude, Ginger asked what I was thinking to ask. Will the bone regrow and will your finger return to a more normal shape with time? It's good that it is you middle finger and not you index finger.

Rava, glad you're feeling back to normal. It will be exciting to get your new couch on Friday!

Peachie, I'm not going to the Lavender farm this Sunday, but I'll be thinking purple!

Ginger, I think it's funny that Mr. G enjoys the earplugs at night! That would make me crazy!! One of the things I am grateful for is that I can still hear, especially the night sounds!

Hi Mul! I hope you check in and read about the site shutting down in time to join us at WQD, should you want to do so.

I have an volunteer in-service today at lunch time. Pizza will be served, so that will help motivate me!

Not today...
