Remission!!

Hey, SR family!
I don't know where to start. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude. I think now, almost 21 years after my first hospitalization and about 30 years of being ill, my depression is in remission! I have been clean 5 days shy of 2 years, but have been battling depression and probably ADD as well for most of that time.

I just want to thank everybody here for their support. You have been a big part of my recovery this past year I'd say. I'm so glad I found SR! I have a tendency to only post when I have a problem, so I thought I'd "mix it up" a little and tell you ALL the good news.

Peace, love, and hugs, y'all,
Eddie :xmasn

Thank you so much, Anna and Annie!!
That happy dance made me LOL. Really. I truly truly appreciate it.
Peace, love, and hugs,
Eddie

P.S. The Spanish quote. Does that mean, "All of us are angels with just one wing; we can only fly when we embrace another?"

Thank you!

Laura-Lu,
It is so great to BE sounding so positive!

Wow! This is really touching me. Maybe I'll actually start being able to cry again, too. :tissue

best,
Thank you, too! You're not the first person to use that mouse's voice with me. I guess I need to check out some old ES Shows and see what that's all about. —EZ

eddie -

WOW, congrats to you. But...one thing I don't agree with you. You do not just post when you have a problem or are down. I read alot of your postings. You are a very supportive encouraging person. Give yourself credit for that. You always jump in and guide people with meeting links, you share your experience, good and bad to help others.

You deserve what you are feeling right now.

Happy happy dance.
