It's been 4 years....4 years!

Personal Achievement πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†

I have an account that is 11 years old. My last post was 4 years ago. I went through some things and deleted the email associated with my Reddit account without thinking about it! Every once in a while, I would try to "find" the email. But Yahoo said I deleted it (yes-true), and it was not recoverable. UGH. But...but..I didn't MEAN to delete it! (Well, I did; I acted irrationally).

The account was never logged out on my cellphone, so I could still see it - calling to me. But I was too afraid to post in case it asked for a password/recovery, etc.

Thanks for sticking with me thus far......Today I decided to try again. Not sure why...Perhaps I really enjoyed remaining anonymous. It's a type of self-help, therapeutic release when you do not have anyone in real life to really talk to. But I expected to have the same experience as before: "Your email does not exist".

Yahoo must have changed its rules because I was able to recover the Yahoo email, then reset my Reddit password! I needed to tell someone! It's so exciting!!!!!!!!! πŸ€—

I came across this community as I eagerly searched for where to shout out the news!

Thank you for letting me share this exciting (to me) recovery! WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!! πŸ₯³
