When I first got sober, there was a woman who posted here alot called BamaSurvivor. I remember she had like 10 months sober or something when I was new. Then she hit a rough patch and started using again, and then she was dating someone who used, and she struggled and struggled to get sober again, and then she quit posting.

I often wonder about her, I wonder if she's alive, I wonder if she's ok. She was such a great person......it makes me so sad to think about what might have happened to her.

Does anyone else remember her? Or has anyone heard from her maybe?

I remember her and the last time I talked to her she was not doing to well. I guess it was on one of the messengers I talked to her.

I remember Bama as well. She may bubble up to the surface again someday. I hope so. If I remember it right, she lost her computer or lost access to one and with that thin thread of sanity broken she just drifted off.

I believe she is alive, and she remembers all you kind souls who reached out to her. Ray, your job was to plant the seed, and you and others did that, are doing it now. Getting it to sprout, now that a job we just can’t do.

But just like the first day when I showed up in the rooms, somebody was there to welcome me, your being here, and in the face to face world, you keep the light burning in the window for the host of lost souls out there.

Bama… look at these people! They are clean and sober today. If they can do it, so can do it too. Do what they did, and get what they got. Or keep doing what you are doing, and keep getting what you are getting. It’s your call.

I heard someone share in a meeting that it was the "moment of silence for the alcoholic still suffering" that we do before a meeting starts, brought them into sobriety. She may be one of the "still suffering" and I do hope she's ok.

Maybe she'll peak in soon and say hi. I don't know why she's been on my mind so much. One of the members uses the same avatar she used to use, so every time I see it, I think of her.
