Wow,

I was posting and then I noticed my registration date. It is a year today. A lot has changed.

First and foremost I really want to thank everyone here.

Rin, SL, Pep, Mel, Mrs W., Banyak, and others that have posted and helped me. I know I have missed a lot of people who don't even know they helped me.

So much has changed this last year. I struggled since d day to find my Way and couldn't and then I found this place an boom things are better.

I want to say I don't consider myself a success because I am in recovery. I consider myself a success because I KNOW I AM A BETTER PERSON today then I was a year ago at this time.

That is what I see now as important. I am glad my FWW has decided to see me for who I am and not who she made me out to be.

Right now we are talking about her going back east for a wedding. That is what she went back for when she had her A.

It was weird because in the past I didn't say what I wanted too.

Today she was asking me about it and I told her you know I hontestly can't give you an opinion on it becuase it would be very biased.

She called later and said she understood and she wouldn't go if it hurt or bothered me because or M is the most important thing in the world to her.

That meant a lot of course.

Now I honestly wouldn't be hear today if it weren't for this board. I never carried my own thread for very long. I usually posted on others but the flow of informaiton was what helped me.

Knowing others have been where I was and made it through was helpful.

I want to thank you all for helping me become a better person.

Frog, you have done amazingly well and I, personally, am happy that I was around to see it.

You go get that waxing done and have a good weekend!

You have a great attitude Frog. I don't see how you could be anything other than a success in anything you attempt.

Positive people like you help us all to be positive. It's catchy. So thank you.

Hey, you know that there are a few of us who are back to back... think we can use this thread to celebrate that...

It would be nice if MB had a little icon for that like they do the b-day one!

Frog I have to say that not only have you gotten help but you have others as well. I know you helped me and I wanted to thank you for that. Coming here has been such a big help for my H and I. I am so glad I didn't go down the road I started to when I first came here. I now realize I would have risk so much and now I can see how precious my DH is to me.

For that I thank you all. Mimi,Windstopped,LG, Marsh,Orchid,Mulan,Suzet and if I forgot anyone it is not intentional but know that you all have been very helpful. My H , Family and I thank you.

Frog...Wow, thank YOU for mentioning me...I had no idea that anything I've ever said has helped you...I'm humbled by that...This truly is an amazing community isn't it? I've been helped by so many here that I know will never know it...I'd have to post 24/7 to tell them all and even then, I know that I would forget to mention someone...Yesterday was two years post dday for us...Amazing how much things change...I'm so glad to be where we are today...Grateful is such a small word for such a HUGE thing, huh?

I think that you are a FABULOUS member of this community Frog...I can always count on you to make me laugh...You are HILARIOUS...You know, everytime I see your name here I always think of a phrase that my North Georgia Mountain born and raised Mama says when you ask her how she's doing...She says, "I'm as fine as a frog's hair!"...Funnier still now that I see you talking about waxing! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Also, my nickname for my mom is "Froggy" because she can never just be still and relax-always busy and productive that woman! Hmmm...Frog, is it weird that you remind me of my Mama??? LOL! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Take it as a compliment! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> My Mama is a great lady and I adore her!!!

Ah well, all this to say...Happy MB Anniversary Frog!!! Glad ya made it-knew ya would! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I knew I forgot someone. Mrs W. You helped me as well. With all of your wonderful anniversary ideas. We had a great time. We ended up seeing Perfect Stranger which was very good by the way, and going to Killer Creek. My H chose since I picked the movie. It was wonderful. They asked was there a special occasion and we said yes our anniversary and the Matrie D sorry if I spelled it wrong told us Happy Anniversary then she sprinkled confetti on the table and our waitress told us Happy Anniversary and after we had a great meal she gave us a free anniversary desert that said Happy Anniversary for us to share.

I told my H thank you for picking such a great restaurant and we had a really great time and that morning we went to the GA aquarium and we all had a great time.

Mrs. W thank you for the kind words and I do think it is a compliment. My sense of humor makes people love me or hate me. LOL. Usually the ones that don't get it hate me.

Rin, Feel free it may be my longest running thread. LOL.

Really guys thank you this is a blessing.

you didn't hang out in trendy buckhead?

I heard that someone's husband picked her up outside a bar in buckhead on the street.

Something like that.
