You may not know it yet, but you have brought hope for the newcomer here, hope for those who remain in a long struggle, and a shining example of how recovery can save us from whatever life hands us, good days and bad.
Duet, your post and story really touched me, as did Ann's apt response. Thank you for sharing your experience, strength, and hope. I don't know what else to say except it's reading things like this that keep me moving toward the light. . . Thank you.
