I'm very sorry for your loss minion.
Congrats to Sunflower79 ~ 1 year & 3 months! ♥
Purpleknight ~ 5 years & 5 months! ♥
H379 ~ 1 month! ♥
Guener ~ 11 months! ♥
Vinificent ~ 1 year & 11 months! ♥
Quincy ~ 2 years & 8 months! ♥
apologies for anyone I missed.
I can only speak for myself - and yeah I'm not bothered by the AV anymore. Thats not to say I'm any more advanced or any more recovered than anyone else - it's just how it is for me.
Thats not to say I consider myself cured - there have been times especially earlier on when sick or fearful in the dead of night the old thoughts have returned as a way out...but the dawn reduced them to nothing
I'm old and wise enough now to know that there may be a day when everything collides in a bad way again and I may have the insanity descend upon me again...
thats ok tho - I have an unshakeable faith I'll know exactly what to do if that should ever happen
I want to continue to live my life as the real me
ps thanks for doing the lists Suze - I'm grateful that you do them & I'm sure many others here are too
please don't ever feel pressured to have to do them at any other time but when convenient to you

Perhaps it will get easier and better....according to Dee and others with more sober years than me it does....the voice fades, leaves completely. But it is going to take more time for me, and that's OK. I used to hear in AA all of the time that under 5 years we are babies. pfffff, annoying, but in some ways, maybe?
Love you dear Willow.
