:') It really is a great place that gives hope and sanity to many. I am SO thankful to have found it. I had been all over the internet looking for "something" and this was it. I found it and never left. Thank you everybody!!

Thanks John... for those who offer service to us. This board itself is my online group. Betty gives us all lots and lots of wisdom and kind-ness. Betty, thanks so much for your help and support over the year.... And to you John...
Thank you to everyone who works for this forum, especially the meeting chairpeople and everyone who works behind the scene. You too John. Im very grateful to all of you for this brilliant service. Its been crucial to my recovery.x
Also for me, part of those service workers are everyone who takes the time and heart to reply to others, making them feel welcome, sharing their experience.
And also to newbies and quiet ones as they are who help us to remember how some of us olders got where we are now, and remind us to be humble.
We all give service in our own ways. Some are more visible, we do need our special "staff" also!
John I am so glad to have been part of this for so many years. Seen so many grow and become more comfy with their lives. It's so fun and an honor knowing you too!
I am always thankful Betty is here too. She always has such great, true, heartfelt responses!
Love,debilyn

I would also like to extent the accolades to all past service workers (you know who you are!), and all those who give their time by standing in for chairs, carry out other duties in our room not covered by an "official" title like Robinks and mspw, greeters for our meetings, and to all the big hearted souls who take the time to practice step 12 by chatting to newcomers and sharing their ESH. And to everyone who shares and listens!!!!

Thank you, John, for establishing this house so that there could be a home for all of us. You built it and we came. I am grateful to everyone who is a part of the MIP family, too. Thanks, HP. Thanks, all of you.
I am new, rather house bound and have struggled so, desperate when I came here. Twice a day, throughout a summer, this group, this process gave me what I needed to
not just get through but also feel at peace, with choices, again. Wonderful, generous people making room in their lives, in my time, people like Overcome, Tigger, Walker, Edna,
Peggy, people who opened their lives to make room so that I could survive and move forward. I thank you JOhn for the gift of MIP.
Thanks to all of you who do service work and to those who hold the space for those of us in need. A special thanks to you, John, for having the vision and the determination to make this all possible.
