I appreciate the sentiment, people being nice to eachother should always be encouraged. But thanking people always seemed odd to me. I drank a lot. :(
But Granny Smith Apple.
Thankfully, I'm doing better now :)
If it makes you feel better, I'm thanking you for this specific service, here.
That being said, as others have said in other threads about this...
... hard not to respect someone who has been through the shit, and came out with a conscience still intact.
While likely not for the same reasons (or, maybe, for some of the same reasons), I've also struggled with addiction, managed to pare it down to just nicotine... different kind of battle, still quite a fight.
Glad you're doing better now.
And I will keep your recommendation in mind for my next fondue, lol.
