As usual, we had a lot of positive comments from our requestors:

– Thank you for your kind response. I was able to find it under SPB (St. Pete Beach). Thanks again.

– Thank you so much for this information and words of encouragement.  I tried this alone at the beginning of this month.  It only lasted seven days.  I’ve found I can’t enjoy a glass of wine without drinking the bottle.  My desire is total abstinence.  Too many years and years of this. My liver is also being compromised.

-I have just come from my meeting and I again wanted to thank you. Reaching out to me started a path I wanted to follow. Two weeks sober and feeling great about it.

I have spoken with my temporary sponsor and will begin volunteering and helping at my AA meetings. I felt a great weight lifted when I admitted I needed help and reached out.

Having my Son and Daughter tell me they were proud I was doing it meant the world. Listening to others at the meetings and reading all the information I can take in is a great help. Keep up the good work my Friend! You helped me get on this sober path and I will always be grateful.

– Thanks for getting back to me.I joined an online meeting today and i loved it.
I was to glad to interact with people who are living examples that there’s a way out of this seemingly hopeless situation. CurrentIy, it’s hard to get an online meeting in my locality.. could not even get one based in my country.I’m not deterred though. The one i joined today will do for the time being.I will keep attending and hopefully will also happily get to the other side so i can be of help to others.

– Thank you….I will attend my forsy meeting tomorrow morning. Thank you for reaching out to me-

– Thank you for responding. I always felt I was strong but this has overcome me. I don’t consider myself out of the fight. I think knowing there are wonderful people out there who understand and are willing to help I can have a chance.

-Thank you very much for taking the in responding to my out cry. I haven’t lost anthing myself yet, but your words will keep me going…I don’t want to lose anything.I am super excited as my family, which I haven’t seen for 8 weeks lands here in Namibia tomorrow, as I work abroad and we are meeting up here. My son turns four on the 18th of June (five days after my birthday) and I want to give him a sober dad for life for his 4th. My father was an alcoholic and I myself was drunk for the first time at age 8. When I hit 13 it was every weekend and honestly I don’t think I have been without a drink for more than a week since I was 16. I am 33 now and I am DONE, with the grace of God I will make this work. Yet again I thank you.]

– Thank you for the response. I was having internet problems at the time, but I had my video on and my mic off the entire time. I’ll try to join again today and see how it goes.
