Thank you so much. I was not enthusiastic about starting over, but you were quite right about the name changes ..I could not remember the new handle and there were at least 3 possibilities re: the associated email and worse possibly even defunct ones. I will contact EarlG and salvage my old account. I hope Duppers is still posting. I like my weak tie friendships at DU .

And AA doesn't prohibit anything, it just gives you the tools and support to get and stay sober. Rhiannon12866 Oct 2021 #18
