Thankyou :-)
I just really wanted to say thankyou,to everyone who has made me feel welcome here and been so supportive over the last 5 days.
Through counselling I've always thought I've needed it in the evenings not just a Friday morning and I feel I've got that here (a huge loada counsellors all helping each other) ...btw first time I'm not dreading going to my session tomorrow because I don't want to say how badly I've done! Can't wait to actually say 'hey this is day 6!
I've briefly mentioned my online 'activities' on another thread. I've shut out the outside world and put my online life first. Only let them see my drunk 'persona' because that's what they like, they like the way I act when I'm pissed cz tbh I wouldn't have the confidence to do the crazy stuff I do when drinking. I know it's down to self esteem and It's made me feel good being wanted by these people but really they don't care about me, they care about what I'll do and say then log off!
Saw my friend yesterday and she said she was so proud of me. I told her about this site and she really hit the nail on the head for me. She said "see you're talking to people online and being yourself and they accept you for you". That means so much to me. First time I've been myself and been honest warts and all lol.
A few months ago in counselling I was asked what I liked about myself and I sat there for 5 minutes before bursting into tears because I couldn't answer...not one thing. I've progressed since then and although I'll probably never be kinda big headed I now know actually I'm ok!
I love this place and don't think I could have made it to day 5 without it.
You're all awesome

Jaded girl you make us all very proud and you should be proud of yourself!
Way to look within and see the beauty in yourself. I knew it was there, and I knew you could find it.
And loving yourself does't give you a big head!
Rock on JadedGirl!
