Welcome back Mr. Smith. Things were getting a tad dull without you. No offense to the ladies.

Welcome back.

Of course you can, Rob. One day, one hour, one moment at a time.
I, for one, have truly missed you, AND your "rumbles".

Glad you made it

I am so touched, that I put up a present for you on my blog, Rob.

Glad to have you back!

Just take it one day at a time.

You can do it Rob, lots of people have faith in you.

Aw right!!!

Welcome back.

He's baaaaackkkkkk!!!!!!

Welcome home, Dude!

i missed you.....

Whoa! Bottled water?!
Welcome back!

Welcome back. I have missed you since most of the Blogosphere has been in a funk. I really don’t care if you blog about anything. It is good knowing you made it through to the other side.

YAAAYYYY!!!!!

Hang in there dude, you're worth it!

Before and after pictures!!! C'mon!!

OMG, bottled water? What's next, a white couch? Welcome back.

(big grin!) Yes!!

Bottled water? Who are you and what have you done with Acidman? You'll be eating spotted dick next!

Seriously dude, we missed ya.

One day/hour/minute at a time - whatever you have to do to get through.

hey, im glad for ya... what you did is not easy, but its also something that you had to do on your own, no one else could have done it for you, and i think that youll find that you are better for it.

do you like cats too? Holy cow.

Welcome back, my friend. Glad you are well again.

Oh, welcome back! Now comes the tough part, though, but ODAT. You may have to repattern the blogging cells a bit but they'll come around, bigger and better than ever! I was singing "The Wreck of the Old 97" for you all weekend = ]

Great to have you back, Rob.

Welcome Back.I got behind the curve and was unable to send ya mail last week. You can do it.

Welcome home!

Two of the letters I sent to you at the hospital came back to me. I'll forward them to your house.

So glad to see you back! You can do this!!!

Welcome back pet :)

Missed ya ;)

Welcome home, Rob! Glad you made it through. I'm one of those who promised to write but only got in a comment or two on the 'will print and send' posts; my new job is hell on my fingers. You were blogging right up till you went in, so I think that's a good sign for your continued ability to carry it on.
Bottled water, now that's a different story. Is it a 'health thing' or can you taste a difference now?
No offense to the ladies, who have kept us involved with irregular postings, but you're the blogger who got us coming here. If Snuffy Smith can quit his 'shinin' and keep his edge, you can too!
Now if you start liking cats, I've got an annoying one I can donate.....

Welcome home, Rob. You've got the guts to do this - it's just something that you need to do, and you've always been able to do what needed to be done. I'm proud of ya!

Welcome back !

A sober Acidman is beats a dead Acidman any day.

Welcome Home Rob.

Welcome home Rob. Its nice to "see" you ! Good luck in the next phase....(you have a lot of people pulling for you) And you better DO IT, because I ran out of stamps (and printer ink, them photos suck a LOT of ink, dont you know...LOL) Seriously, it was great fun writing to you...(I dont know how much fun it was READING my drivel, but I tried my best!)

BE THE TRAIN, SUGAR.

Welcome home Rob. Judging by what you sent from rehab, your blogging will be better than ever. We missed you.

Nice to see you back at it again. The hard part starts now. You have many friends inside and out of the blogosphere, let them help you get over the rough spots.........

I sense a ...reallignment... in the Force.
Welcome back, buddy.

Welcome home, Rob! So happy to see you this morning.

Stay strong. I'll keep praying.

Welcome back. I think I will dedicate the next Ask The Cats to you.

Welcome back!

I will echo the words of many already, I am glad you are back

Welcome back Rob. Glad you made it. When you feel the pain, welcome it, embrace it, it's growth. When you feel the urge, think of it as some idiot commentor on the blog, and treat it with equal disdain. Or not. All the best, and good luck.

Cool Beans! You're home! I feel that your best writing is on the way and I'm giddy with anticipation. You can do it!

Welcome back, Rob.

And the kitties say welcome back, too....no they don't; they're too busy licking their assholes.

Late to the party - story of my life. But sooooo excited to see you posting again. The girls (cats) asked me just this morning "Is he back yet?" Now I can tell them yes, Yes, YES. And thank Isis for it!!! Missed you muchly.

Welcome home brother. I'm sure your gonna enjoy your own bed for a change!

Glad you're back!

It's so nice to have you back, I missed your blogging. Hope you got the cards I sent!

You're doing good so far. Great to have you back. Well see if that acid tongue is as sharp as before. (probably sharper).

From one Smith to another, Welcome Back! I'm damn glad you're here, AND sober! As I'm sure you are aware of, there aren't too many Smiths in the world, and we need all we can get. B-)

Donny Smith
(Walrilla)

He' s tanned, fit and ready...oh, wait that was Nixon! Glad you made it this far, stay the course.
Rumbear

It's about time! Now get to posting - you have a lot of catching up to do! ;)

Glad to see you back! Let's see a picture of this new, improved Rob!

Tried to call you this morning but no answer. I'll try again later. Turn your answering machine on.

Love ya and glad you're back home!!

-Sam

Well done!

........Mr. C.

Welcome back, Rob. Sorry I never mailed you; school and work beat the hell out of me this month and I could never find the right address.

I've been waiting for your return also. As with Adam, I really did mean to drop you a line, but life happened, and the time went by quickly, at least out here.

So glad to find you back, and feeling better!

I'll add my 2 cents in here and say welcome back. Missed your wit and humor (not to mention all the picture of cats you always post!)

Godspeed to you, Mr Smith.

Welcome home Rob.

Welcome back, Sweetheart.

Welcome back Rob.

Welcome back sir.

Welcome back Rob!
(I sent you the kid postcards - at least they weren't cats)

Welcome back, pardner. Can you tell that we missed you?

Sure you can! I bet you'll be even meaner.

Welcome home.

Welcome back, Rumbledude!

Oh, and what brand of bottled water are you drinking? Might be a good stock tip there!

Hey Rob, welcome back. We sure missed you. I hope you can do it sober, too. Just remember, even though you have a gazillion fans out here, your sobriety is paramount. If the blogging becomes too much, save yourself!!! (I hope it's not, though)...
Hope you received the letters I sent (you never know with Canada Post ha ha ha)
...

Welcome back..hope you got my (2) oops...cards...too many kidz..ya know..I MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back.

Good to see ya back!

Well, I hope that place didn't rip you off.

Welcome Back!!! from a longtime reader and loyal fan!...and congrats.on a battle well fought and won!

Welcome Back Rob!

Know that when it gets tough, that there are a lot of people here for you. Keep it up, and ignore the ingnorant and unuseful idiots like the one in the post below...

Note also my restraint in not sending anything cat related to you...

Good to have you back, Rob.

And you are the man who said bottled water and tap water were the same...Ooop's
Hope you are sill in good form with the humor, something has been missing from the site.
The dim-wits have became total obstructionist, totally negative about anything good in this country, and in some ( a lot) cases total traitors, all for politics. They are one sick bunch so start calling them on it. Hanoi John has joined the rank of insanity (he has been a proven traitor since 1971) with Algore.....Guess they have all let their hate turn to insanity faster than we hoped.

One day at a time!-glad you made it back. Stay strong and stay sober. I takes guts to admit it and real guts to do it in a public way-a great lesson for others making the same journey. Good luck!

Welcome home! You can do it, big boy - breathe in, breathe out - just like all the rest of us. If deep breathing gets too tough, PANT! Hang in there.

Welcome back, Rob! It's good to have you back.

From a longtime reader and ofttime lurker— and at the risk of repeating myself— welcome back!!!

I join the ranks in a heaty hello and welcome back Rob. Missed you terribly not much happened on this site since you've been gone. Alot of double writing from one blog to the other. Glad to see that you will be taking the crackerbox back. Remember one day at a time baby steps. And like all your other readers please lets see the new and improved ACIDMAN

Welcome back Rob! Great to hear from you again "live", so to speak. Can't wait till you get back to writing again.

Welcome Home, and Good Luck, Rob!!

God I've missed you!!!!!

Welcome Back, Captain! Glad to have you back at the keyboard.

We await another pithy post. Bring it on! Welcome back again!

Anything you can do drunk, you can do sober at least twice as good. Good to see you back in the saddle again. Don't get complacent. Line them meetings up and get involved in your recovery.

May you stay on the good road my friend

ladies and gentlemen
let me say HE'S BACK AND HE'S PISSED
the one and only Mr Smith aka acidman
glad to see you are home were you belong if you need any help just ask . j

Welcome home, Rob! I started a little waste-of-pixels weblog while you were out. I admire your courage and forthrightness, and wish you all the best.
-k-

Welcome back! I have a great deal of respect for you and what you did. You took the bull by the horns and you're taking care of yourself. You rock. Again, welcome back!

I am so glad that you are back home. Missed you so much. Relax, take it easy. You may need some time off from blogging too, and if so I fully understand. We are here for you.

Welcome back Rob! If it was easy anybody could do it hang tough.

You'll do OK. Seems you have enough piss and vinegar to get you through anything!

Welcome home.

YAHOOO!
Welcome back and let's get some of that good ole boy commentary rolling again. Don't get me wrong, your standins were very very good. But they don't have the same punch you do.
Congratulations and welcome back.

Welcome back, Rob!

Welcome back Rob! While you were gone OSU kicked Michigan ass. So all is well in the world!

glad your back!

Geez, been a day since this post went up.

Hope he hasn't hit the sauce again.

FREE ROB!

Welcome back, A-Man. Welcome back.

D. Edgren

Welcome back Cowboy. Remember, Keep starting over!

can we see before and after pix?

Second day without a post? Hope all is well and you're just using all this free time you would have spent drinking to record that song you promised to post to the blog.

Welcome back. And keep it up.

{{{hugs}}} Glad you are back. You've been missed.
: - )

Hey, cat-lover! Glad you're back!

Now that you're out, get off your ass and write a book or something.

I stopped lying to myself 4 years ago.( I don't need alcohol to function!) Never give up trying, it gets easier over TIME. Higher power and meetings! Cunning, Baffling, Powerful and Dangerous that's Alcohol. You are not alone my friend.

Congrats man , great , you don't know me, i live far away (netherlands) stumpled upon this , just stopped by to wish you strength and willpower, happiness is a long way but main thing you are alive.
It was my lover , but now it is not even a friend anymore , Alcohol is a vicious rat ,life might be never the same as it was , but no real man has a boss above him right?
remember if you are out of this shit , you can beat the world, nothing is gonna take you down then, if you once have beaten the master , you are the master.
this all might make no sense, but aah it might help a tienieweenie.

Welcome back.

I salute your surviving the rehab and I am glad you did it. It took a family member of mine getting shot in a bar to convince him that he might have a problem. He has been clean and sober for 15-20yrs now, one day at a time. Lucky for him, stubborn runs in our family. You have a healthy dose of it too, you can do it.

You went through divorce on your blog.

You went through a nasty divorce on your blog.

You went through custody and legal hassles on your blog.

You went through cancer and implants on your blog.

You went through self-destruction, alcohol addiction, hiring prostitutes, and drug use, and nearly accomplished offing yourself in the process.

The man that can do that publicly can blog with sobriety.

Face it, if there was anything to be embarrassed about you've already done it, and it didn't change how much people love your blog, or the respect they have for you. So onward!

Welcome home, Rob. I've missed you like crazy and kept you in my prayers while you were gone.
Big hugs....

As we all know bottled water is for the lazy such as Rick and I. It's just so close to the couch.

As usual, I'm late to the party...but what the hell...

WAY TO GO, ACIDMAN!!!!!!!!

Glad to see your back and on a good track.

You have inspired me yet again.
