Hello all,
I left the board several months ago because I needed to concentrate my time and efforts on other things in my life. There are a lot of new names here, but the stories are pretty much the same.
I'm happy to report that I have been A free for 9 months now. It hasn't been an easy road, the emotional scars still linger but I'm feeling better than I have felt in a very long time. For all you ladies (and few men) out there who think you don't have the strength to end it, I'm here to tell you that you CAN. I thought I was going to DIE at one point, the anxiety and depression was unbearable but I can honestly say that in the end, the pain of staying IN the A was far worse than the pain of getting out.
I have gone through some of the archives and retrieved some gems that really helped me put things into perspective and helped me to be determined to not slip back into the A muck. Some of you have already read them but for those of you who haven't, I hope you read them, reflect upon them and apply them. I really do want every single one of you to feel as good as I feel now. Life is way too short to live it being miserable. Let this be the day you begin to really live again.
p.s. What happened to Posie?

Oh Man, you are a ray of sunshine!

I'll stay as long as I can.
