thank you to all regulars here

THIS IS THE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT GROUP. Abrasive and unkind comments are not welcome here.


You all have been a life-saver during my drug-withdrawal hell. Only 5 more days to go.

If I had tried to talk about this in GD or even in the Lounge, it would have gone extremely poorly, with a lot of "hey you're a MAN, grow some balls" kind of talk and other assorted ignorance.

Thank you again everyone. I will do my best to be here for you.

I had a lot of work to do by myself and had some therapy. I survived and I promise to help anyone else.

Emphasis: practice, sometimes not exactly getting it right, but practice.

I'm personally in a pretty good place these days and I feel grateful for it every day. This group (and my Cancer Support group) has been so supportive when I needed it.
You are going to get there too!

I'm not around much now days, but when I'm here I always check in with this group to see how everybody is doing. To me, this group exemplifies how human beings should treat each other: with compassion and support.
