My name is Anna. I studied neuroscience for two years before leaving school to deal with recovery, and my dream is to work for Google someday.

I work in a kitchen store and as a result I know tons about cooking, but I don't cook. :)

I'm Odaat and I'm starting voluntary work in a few weeks (just one afternoon a week at first). I've been out of the real world for a long time, and I'm terrified! I've also been the youngest member of every meeting I've attended. I avoided life/emotions from the ages of 11 to 20 with various things - alcohol, food, relationships, drugs, self-harm etc.

I am Don and I am a recovering drunk. I own my own ERP software consulting practice, and I collect fossils, and I love to fish! My biggest fish so far is a 225# Thresher Shark, and I get a kick out of catching a species of fish I have never caught before. So far I have caught over 100 different species of fish.
