Gianna – Thanks so much for gathering these different stories. I couldn’t agree with you more about the need to look at everyone’s path. I can’t tolerate all the angry proselytizing that goes on by people who have made some progress and believe their path is the only way to do it. I look forward to following this page.
Nice to see you here John.
thanks for your comment.
Thank you so much for these recovery stories. I’ve been looking for things like this for years. I even started a blog called The After Life to attempt to explain to other what it’s like to live after meds, hospitals and doctors…because I’d read so few success stories- it was like no one ever wrote about what happened “after.” I’ve been in the ‘after life’…recovery life…for a year now and it’s such a different place it’s nice to hear about others as well!!!
So thanks!!!
