I'm so happy that you bumped this thread. This is one of my favorite threads on MDS because it brings so many people together who both knew her and didn't and realizing that we all care about her in different ways.

Stephanie, I like to think that not only does this serve as a way for you to fulfill her wishes and find some kind of support and therapy, but also as hope and encouragement for those that suffer from addiction. Open discussions rarely happen when it comes to it and this thread proves that you can openly discuss it and not be frowned upon. That you aren't an outcast, but you are welcomed some place where there are those that understand what you're going through.

Reading back, there is more beauty in this thread than any other I know on this forum and you created it in her honor. I hope you're doing as well as you can and know that people do still think about her and you and the friends that have contributed to her legacy
